For the crab cakes:
Mix all ingredients together, except for the bread crumb & lump crabmeat. Fold in bread crumbs & lump crabmeat after all ingredients have been mixed together. Portion the crab cakes using a round cookie cutter into 4 to 6 servings. Sear crab cakes in sauté pan for 2 minute on each side.
For the sauce:
Sauté roasted red pepper and basil leaves in olive oil until the basil leaves become wilted. Using a food processor, combine the sautéed pepper and basil leaves with the mayonnaise and lemon. Add salt, pepper and garlic to taste while processing.
