VEGAN ARTICHOKE CRAB CAKES



Vegan Artichoke Crab Cakes image

This recipe creates delicious baked crabless cakes made from artichoke hearts. With a crisp outer coating and fully vegan filling, this is a fantastic appetizer!

Provided by Nicole

Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ⅔ cups artichoke hearts (, roughly chopped (artichoke from 2 14-ounce cans))
2 tablespoons artichoke hearts liquid (, from can)
⅓ cup celery (, finely diced)
⅓ cup onion (, finely diced)
½ cup chickpea flour
¼ cup parsley (, finely chopped)
2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Old bay seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup panko breadcrumbs ((gluten free if needed))
oil spray
crab cake sauce

Steps:

  • Open the cans of artichoke hearts and measure canning liquid into a large mixing bowl.
  • Discard the remaining liquid then dump the artichoke hearts onto a cutting board.
  • Roughly chop the artichoke hearts (mostly focusing on chopping the "core" sections) and add to your large bowl.
  • Finely chop celery, onion and parsley. Add to the large mixing bowl.
  • To the large bowl, add chickpea flour, vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Old bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  • Prep your baking tray by covering it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Measure panko breadcrumbs into a large, flat bottom bowl.
  • Once the crab cake mixture has rested, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the crab cake mixture. Take this out of the measuring cup and shape into a flat disk, about ¾ inch (2 centimeters) thick.
  • Set the crab cake into the breadcrumbs and lightly press down. Flip your crab cake to lightly coat the other side with breadcrumbs, or sprinkle some on top and press into the patty.
  • Place onto the baking tray and repeat to form all crab cakes coated with breadcrumbs.
  • Spray the crab cakes with oil (if you don't have oil spray, lightly brush oil onto each crab cake).
  • Flip your crab cakes over and spray oil onto the other side (or brush oil onto the other side).
  • Put the crab cakes into an oven preheated to 375 °F. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until both sides are golden-brown.
  • Crabless cakes can be served hot from the oven if you use a fork and knife. If you want to pick them up, allow to cool for at least 15 minutes so they have time to firm.
  • Serve with a creamy dairy-free dip, like this vegan crab cake sauce!

CRAB STUFFED ARTICHOKES



Crab Stuffed Artichokes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 jumbo artichokes
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 fresh black pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs, dried
1/2 teaspoon tarragon, dried
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup crabmeat

Steps:

  • Lightly oil baking sheet with olive oil and place in the oven to preheat.
  • Trim and clean the artichokes by removing the lower 3 to 4 rows of outer leaves, and leaving 1/2-inch of stem. Trim the sharp tips off the remaining leaves with kitchen shears.
  • In large pot, boil or steam artichokes 30 to 45 minutes, or until knife easily enters the base of the leaves. Remove from pan and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In medium mixing bowl, mix mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce. When smooth, season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix in bread crumbs, tarragon, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and crab meat until well blended.
  • Remove leaves from cooled artichokes, and scoop out choke inside. Generously fill artichoke with crabmeat mixture (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per artichoke), until a small mound is present in each, Drizzle each lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake stuffed artichokes for 20 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right crab meat: Opt for fresh or frozen lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor. Avoid using canned crab meat as it tends to be mushy.
  • Preparing the artichokes: To ensure the artichokes are tender and flavorful, steam them until they are easily pierced with a fork. This takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Combining the ingredients: When mixing the crab meat, artichokes, and other ingredients, handle them gently to prevent breaking up the crab meat. Use a light touch and mix just until combined.
  • Forming the crab cakes: To prevent the crab cakes from falling apart, make sure the mixture is well combined and slightly moist. If it's too dry, add a little mayonnaise or Dijon mustard. Shape the crab cakes gently into patties, taking care not to pack them too tightly.
  • Cooking the crab cakes: Pan-frying the crab cakes over medium heat allows them to cook evenly and develop a golden brown crust. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the crab cakes and avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.

Conclusion:

Artichoke crab cakes are a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a popular appetizer or main course. By following the tips and instructions provided in this recipe, you can create delicious and impressive crab cakes that will surely be a hit at your next gathering.
