Mock Crab Cakes-Zucchini Cakes
They taste like a crab cake but there isn't a ounce of crab in the recipe. Instead it is made with zucchini.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers color of your choice
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 TBSP chives
- 1 TBSP Dijon Mustard
- 2 TBSP Mayo
- 1 TBSP Lemon Juice
- 1 TBSP Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
- Shred your zucchini. I use a cheese grater. A food processor would work also.
- Finely chop your peppers, onions and garlic. Sauté in a little olive oil until tender.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl (Except the flour) Mix Well
- Using your hands, create your cakes. This recipe will make 6 palm size cakes.
- Add your flour to a plate. Coat the cakes with the flour on all sides.
- Heat up a skillet with a little olive oil. Once it is heated, fry both sides of the cakes until golden brown.
Notes
- This recipe freezes well. To do so, put the formed cakes (without flour) onto a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment or wax paper. Add the cookie sheet to the freezer until frozen. After they are frozen, add them to a zip lock freezer bag or vacuum seal. When you are ready to enjoy them, simply unthaw, add the flour and fry.
- They taste great with a remoulade sauce.
