Macadamia Nut Crusted Crab Cakes, Recipe from the Pineapple Grill in south Florida These are very tasty crab cakes that can be served as a main course or smaller as an appetizer Very delicious with the Black Bean Relish Prep time includes letting the crab mixture and patties sit to meld flavors , Delicious! The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is I love crab! To me the nuts and bread crumbs hide the crab This is perfect if you have mediocre crab instead of the expensive lump kind, or for non crab fans like Gidgets Mom , This was awesome! The only reason I gave 4 stars is the amount of crust mixture left over Macadamias are too darn high for that! I had some mushrooms in the fridge, and used the rest of the egg, etc , to bread and bake them – I figured that since the crab was already cooked, there was no food safety issue there I halved the recipe and used leftover dungeness crab I’d picked from my mother’s birthday dinner My husband, who calls this kind of food foo-foo LOVED it
