Easy Vegan Crab Cakes

Are you craving Crab Cakes, but without the “Crab”? You can make easy Vegan Crab Cakes by mixing hearts of palm, chickpea, breadcrumb and spices! 

Not only does this recipe taste just like the real thing, it’s simple to make, but it also has 29 grams of plant protein, and 37 grams of fiber. PLUS, they have important nutrients like B vitamins, Magnesium, Potassium, and Iron. 

Most importantly? They’re delicious!

Serve this with my Avocado Cream Dressing for a dose of healthy fat, and even more flavor.

Ingredients

To Make the Crab Cakes

2 (14 oz.) cans of hearts of palm, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz.) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup panko bread crumbs (plus ½ cup for coating)
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 jalapeño pepper seeded and rinsed (optional)
1 ½ tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar works too)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
avocado oil for frying

To Make the Avocado Cream

1 large garlic clove
1 large avocado, pitted
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions

To Make the Crab Cakes:

Place the hearts of palm and chickpeas in a food processor and pulse to combine. Don’t over process, you want a “crabby” texture. Transfer the hearts of palm mixture into a large bowl, add the 1 cup panko, vegan mayonnaise, jalapeño, Old Bay seasoning, vinegar, and mustard and combine. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Place ½ cup panko in a shallow dish. Form the “crab” mixture into 2 inch-wide patties, making sure to pack the mixture tightly. Coat the patties in the panko and place into the pan to pan-fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining mixture.

To Make the Avocado Cream:

Place the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and puree until creamy and smooth. Serve the crab cakes and top with avocado cream and serve over a colorful salad! 🥗

Serve, and enjoy!

Ingredientes

Para Hacer los Crab Cakes

2 (14 oz.) latas de palmitos, escurridos y enjuagados
1 (15 oz.) lata de garbanzos, escurridos y enjuagados
1 taza de pan rallado panko (más ½ taza para cubrir)
¼ taza de mayonesa vegana
1 jalapeño sin semillas y enjuagado (opcional)
1 ½ cucharadas de condimento Old Bay
1 cucharadita de vinagre de vino tinto (también sirve vinagre de manzana)
1 cucharadita de mostaza de Dijon
aceite de aguacate para freír

Para Hacer la Crema de Aguacate

1 diente de ajo grande
1 aguacate grande, sin semilla
2 cucharadas de jugo de lima fresco, más al gusto
1 cucharada de agua
2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
1/4 cucharadita de sal marina, o al gusto

Para Hacer los Crab Cakes: coloca los palmitos y los garbanzos en un procesador de alimentos y pulsa para combinar. No proceses mucho, quieres una textura “similar a la del cangrejo”. Transfiere la mezcla de corazones de palma a un tazón grande, añade la 1 taza de panko, mayonesa vegana, jalapeño, condimento Old Bay, vinagre y mostaza y mezcla. Calienta el aceite en una sartén grande a fuego medio-alto. Coloca ½ taza de panko en un plato poco profundo. Forma la mezcla de “crab o cangrejo” en hamburguesas de 2 pulgadas de ancho, asegurándote de empaquetar bien la mezcla. Reboza las hamburguesas en el panko y colócalas en la sartén para freír durante 3-4 minutos por cada lado, o hasta que los bordes estén dorados. Retira de la sartén y repite con la mezcla restante.

Para Hacer la Crema de Aguacate: coloca los ingredientes para el aderezo en una licuadora y mezcla hasta que quede cremoso y suave. Sirve los crab cakes y cúbrelos con la crema de aguacate, y sírvelos sobre una ensalada colorida! 🥗
