12 oz jumbo lump crab

1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and minced

½ cup store-bought stuffing

¼ cup cilantro

3 tbsp dijon mustard

3 tbsp sour cream

Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten

3 tbsp olive oil

1 lemon, cut into wedges

Place the crab in a large bowl and pick through to make sure there are no bits of shell.

Place the stuffing into a food processor and pulse to break up the pieces. Add to the bowl with the crab cakes.

Add in the jalapeño, cilantro, Dijon, sour cream, salt, and egg. Gently stir to combine trying to keep the crab in large pieces.

Divide into eight equal portions and gently form into cakes. Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add in the oil. When hot, add in the crab cakes and cook in batches (3 to 4 minutes per side) until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain. Season with a little more salt and a squeeze of lemon.
