These Lemony Dill Crab Cakes are bright, tender, and bursting with citrusy-herb flavour. They’re exactly the kind of light, fresh dish we start craving this time of year.


LEMONY DILL CRAB CAKES 🦀
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
Fresh lemon juice (one lemon)
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. Lemony Dill Seasoning
1 ¼ cups crushed saltines (1 sleeve)
1 1/2 lbs (.680 kg) crabmeat
1 tsp. Oh! So Onion
3-4 Tbsp. olive oil

Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Lemony Dill Seasoning in a large bowl. Reserve ½ cup sauce for serving. Fold crabmeat, saltines and Oh! So Onion into remaining sauce and mix. Form crabmeat mixture into eight x 1" patties. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add half of crab cakes and cook until golden brown, approx. 2½ to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and tent with foil. Repeat with remaining oil and crab cakes. Serve with reserved sauce.

Mexican Fiesta Egg Rolls
Thank you Audrey McPherson (Winnipeg, MB) for this recipe!

Ingredients:
1 lb. (.454 kg) ground chicken, beef, pork or turkey
1 Tbsp. Mexican Fiesta Rub & Seasoning
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 Tbsp. water
1 cup Tex-Mex shredded cheese
1 package (454 g) egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying

Instructions

In a large frying pan, brown ground chicken; add Mexican Fiesta Rub & Seasoning, tomato paste and water. Mix well. Open one egg roll wrapper and put one tablespoon of meat and a pinch of cheese in the center. Using basting brush or finger, slightly dampen the edges of wrapper. Then roll up and fold sides in. Best to roll them all up first before cooking. Heat oil and start to fry each side; takes 1 minute per side. Garnish with sliced green onions and finely diced peppers and serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole (optional).

For Air Frying: Spritz egg rolls with oil and place in air fryer basket in an even layer, leaving space for air to flow around. You will have to cook in 2 or 3 batches. Cook at 390°F for 7 minutes or until golden brown on the outside, flipping halfway through cooking.
