   1                    Red pepper -- , finely chopped
     1/2  small         Red onion -- , finely diced
   1                    Jalapeno pepper
   1      Tablespoon    Mayonnaise -- (heaping Tbsp.)
     1/2  Tablespoon    Dijon mustard -- (heaping Tbsp.)
   1                    Egg
     1/2                Lemon -- , juiced
                        Tabasco sauce -- (few drops)

                        Unseasoned bread crumbs
                        Olive oil

Stir mayonnaise, mustard, egg, lemon, tabasco and worcestershire together
in a non-reactive mixing bowl. Add this to the diced peppers and onion.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the crabmeat in another bowl, and add
enough bread crumbs to bind the mixture so you can form little cakes, but
not too much that they are dry.

Form the mixture into cakes to the desired size and then coat each one with
bread crumbs.

Pan fry in pure olive oil until light golden in color. Finish in 400 degree
oven 3-5 minutes.
