Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 cans artichoke hearts in brine, drained and roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 stalk of celery, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped dill
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons fish seasoning ((for example Old Bay) )
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a pan, heat some oil and sauté the chopped onion for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside.
  • Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl with a fork. Leave them partially intact for more texture. Add the remaining ingredients (including the cooked onion and the garlic) and season with salt and pepper.
  • Form eight vegan crab cakes.
  • Heat some oil in a large pan and cook them on each side on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until they're lightly browned.
  • I served them on a bed of green salad with vegan remoulade and lemon slices. For the remoulade I whisked together vegan mayonnaise with chopped dill, fresh lemon juice and seasoned it with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use firm tofu. Extra-firm or super-firm tofu will hold its shape better than softer tofu, and it will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients more easily.
  • Press the tofu well. This will remove excess water and help the tofu to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a food processor to pulse the tofu. This will create a fine crumb that will help the crab cakes to hold together.
  • Be gentle when mixing the ingredients. Over-mixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Chill the crab cakes before cooking. This will help them to hold their shape better.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These vegan crab cakes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional crab cakes. They are made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and they can be prepared in just 30 minutes. Whether you are a vegan, a vegetarian, or simply looking for a healthier seafood option, these vegan crab cakes are sure to please.
