Instructions:
Chipotle Mayonnaise: In a food processor combine the mayonnaise, chile, adobe sauce, cilantro, lime juice and zest. Pulse until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Burgers: In a large bowl combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, spring onions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried mustard and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine; gradually stir in 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs. Form mixture into 4 – one-inch thick patties. Dredge in remaining breadcrumbs, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (Freezing patties for a half hour prior to cooking will help the patties stay together while cooking). In a large skillet over medium heat add oil. Fry patties, turning once until golden; approximately 4 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Top each burger with two slices of Mozzarella Cheese. Spread spoonfuls of chipotle mayonnaise onto toasted buns; add burger and top with a thick slice of fresh tomato. Additionally add your favourite burger accompaniments if desired.
