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.

Lemon Rice

This is so delicious! This will be a regular to be sure! You can find all kinds of version of this South Indian dish on the internet. We are pretty pleased with this version and my adaptations. One of my adaptations is the yellow peppers. You probably wont find that in most of the recipes on the internet but we liked it because it upped the vegetable quotient in our meal and it looked pretty making the dish more yellow, like lemons.

Mushroom Bolognese

Being without meat doesn't mean you have to give up flavors you enjoy. The flavors can be carried over to non meat items, like mushrooms or tofu or jack fruit. At first it may seem ridiculous but once you replace the meats with substitutes you can enjoy those dishes still. Mushroom Bolognese If you are allergic to nuts, simply skip no need to replace it with something. It's amazing without the nuts as well. 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 8 cups mushrooms, mixed ie. Baby Bella and Shitake 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped, and toasted 2 cups tomatoes, Roma's or the Cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped 1 quart chopped tomatoes 1 cup red wine (not dry) or grape juice 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika powder 1 bay leaf 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes se...
