Hearts of Palm Crab Cakes

No, vegans are not crabby cakes, they are happy cakes! Happy that they can eat these delicious morsels!

Whether you are vegan or not, these will delight your palate and you won't miss those crab creatures one bit. The secret here is the Hearts of Palm. You can find Hearts of Palm at Trader Joe's, BJ's, Wegmans, Amazon... Hearts of Palm does not have a POW, hit you in the face flavor. But the texture is amazing. With all the seasonings that are in this 'crab' cake, it tastes like a crab cake.

Try hearts of palm in salads, I love to have it in the summer with fresh garden tomatoes and avocado.... divine!

VEGAN CRABBY CAKES

1- 7 ounce container Hearts of Palm

1/4 cup seaweed shreds (you can buy them like that or shred a sheet of nori yourself)

½ teaspoon salt, plus more as needed

½ cup panko crumbs
2 egg replacers equivalents (ie. 2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal and 4 tablespoons warm water, mixed before you add it to the main ingredients)

2 tablespoons Vegan mayo

2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons your favorite frying oil

Cut up the hearts of palm into rings. Set aside. Mix all together, then the hearts of palm. Shape the crab cakes and let them sit for about fifteen minutes. This will give the panko time to absorb moisture and set it a bit. Fry in oil.

Gobi Manchurian

This Gobi Manchurian is the bomb. Its sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed this over rice. You can totally deep fry your cauliflower but I preferred it baked without the oil. You really wont miss the oil once it is bathed in this crazy good sauce. Gobi Manchurian I added a lot more veggies because I wanted it loaded with veggies but you can go sparse if you likke, just halve what I have here. 1 head cauliflower, roughly 4-6 cups small pieces (bite size) 1 cup flour 1/2 cup tapioca or corn flour (corn starch) 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 green bell peppers, diced 2 cups onion, I used sweet onion in mine but any onion will do 4-6 cloves garlic, depends on how much you like garlic 1 inch piece of ginger, minced or grated 1 chili, I used Hatch Chilies because I had them frozen in my freezer 2 tablespoons corn flour or tapioca flour 2 cups water, I like a lot of sauce to pour over my rice, you can halve it if you like 4 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons so...

Vindaloo Sauce

I double this when I make it. I have made it twice now. I freeze some of it. It is a great meal to make when you are in a hurry. You can cook some lentils and just add the sauce to it. Or you can get all fancy and add vegetables to the mix. I have made it both ways now and I think my favorite is just with the lentils. I have spread it on toast, yes, seriously I have (on more that one occassion). It's awesome that way. VINDALOO SAUCE 2 teaspoons black peppercorns 2 tablespoon white peppercorns 1 teaspoon whole cloves 4 teaspoon coriander seeds 2 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds 2 tablespoon brown mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 2 teaspoon fennel seeds (reduce or omit if you are not a fan) 2 guajillo chilies 4 cloves garlic 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, mince 1 teaspoon sea salt 6 tablespoon vegetable oil 4 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 can tomato paste (4 ounces) 2 tablespoon Tamarind paste Toast the spices in a dry pan, ...

Smoky Mushroom Lentil Burgers

I had only one shot left to show you the beauty of these burgers. It's all I got before my battery died. However, I think it was enough to show you. I will definitely be making these again. Lest I forget exactly what I did, I had to record it. What is the sauce? It is a combination of mayo and my homemade hot sauce. I couldn't really tell you what is in my hot sauce. It is usually the end result of an event that goes something like this. In September I am usually inundated with tomatoes. I have canned nearly all there is to can of tomatoes, I have made my salsa, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce and any other tomato thing I feel like canning any particular year. I always have tons of tomatoes because my husband eats them nearly for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am really not kidding about that. Anyway, say some get overly ripe tomatoes are laying on the counter and I have a few jalapenos laying around or some other hot pepper, I usually...
