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.
