Ingredients

fresh Chesapeake Bay blue crab meat

fresh onions, preferably at least two types for a variety of flavor and texture

green bell pepper

parsley

vegetable salt

ground black pepper

bread crumbs

heavy cream

eggs

fresh butter

Pre-cook onions, taking care not to lose firmness or texture. Slightly saute green bell peppers to release full flavor

Mix crab, eggs, cooked onions and green peppers, bread crumbs, black pepper and small amount of salt (often crab meat is already naturally, slightly salty). Add sufficient cream to bind the mixture lightly.

Saute butter until brown and quickly add parsley to release parsley's natural flavor. Form cakes and drop in butter, cooking sparingly so as not to lose the enhanced fresh crab flavor. Remove and serve.
