on 2/27/2009 Artichoke sounds like a super variation on traditional crabcakes but I'd use twice as much lump crab as artichoke hearts and dispense with the mushroom soup--and its calories. The point of crabcakes is to taste the crab. If you need binder, use a dab of fresh mayonaise. Make your patties, top them with crumbs and cheese (Swiss cheese? I'd use Guyere or farmer's cheese) and put 'em under a slow broiler until they turn brown. Even fresh crab doesn't need much cooking--since you heat them just for color, I'd think that the microwave would only make them soggy.
