4 drops Tabasco pepper sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon Ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons Olive oil
1 tablespoon Shallot; minced
1 Clove garlic; minced
4 tablespoons Fresh chives or scallion tops, chopped
¼ pounds Mixed salad greens (1 1/2 quarts)

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar with the mustard, ¼ teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil slowly, whisking.

Stir in the shallot, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the chives. Set this dressing aside.

Combine egg, mayonnaise, and seasonings. Add crabmeat and enough bread crumbs to absorb excess moisture.

Stir to blend well. Mixture should be firm enough to hold together. Adjust seasoning as desired. Form crabmeat mixture into 8 patties. Place on waxed paper for about 20 minutes to dry slightly. Pour oil into skillet to a depth of ½-inch and heat to 350 degrees.

Fry crabcakes for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides. Do not crowd pan. Fry in several batches, if necessary. Drain on paper towel. Dress greens with vinaigrette and place on for serving plates. Top with crabcakes.

Yield: 6 servings
