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.

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.

Will it taste like beef, no. But it will satisfy you. This is a definite make again at our house. In fact, I have already made it twice. It cooks up fast and easy.

Matter of fact I cooked up some green beans from the Farmers market yesterday... Green Bean and Tofu Curry I had a lot of fun creating this recipe. I had some of my fire roasted salsa in the fridge.
