ZUCCHINI "CRAB" CAKES

Zucchini

These crab cakes are made with shredded zucchini instead of crab but they taste like regular crab cakes!

Provided by Kirbie

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups shredded zucchini (approx 1 large zucchini)
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
1 ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning (this is key to the crab cake-like flavor, so don't leave this out!)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 ½ tbsp mayonnaise
3 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup canola oil (for pan frying)
tartar sauce (optional, to serve with the crab cakes)
lemon wedges (optional, to serve with the crab cakes)

Steps:

In a large bowl, add zucchini, eggs, breadcrumbs, Old Bay, black pepper, mayonnaise and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Scoop out 1/3 cup (packed) of zucchini batter. Press the zucchini firmly into the cup. You want to make sure you really compact the zucchini batter so that the cakes don't fall apart. Flip the measuring cup upside down to release the zucchini cake onto a sheet of parchment paper. The zucchini should slide out still holding its form from the cup. Repeat with remaining zucchini batter.
In a medium skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. Depending on the size of your pan you may need more oil. You need a little more than 1/4 inch of oil so that the oil reaches the halfway point on the zucchini cakes during cooking. Gently slide a few of the crab cakes into the hot oil and cook a few minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Place cooked crab cakes onto a paper towel to soak up some of the excess oil. Repeat until all crab cakes are cooked. Serve crab cakes while they are still warm, with tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice.

This is a good recipe for those allergic to seafood like my husband is when our family loves seafood, but also a good way to get some veggie's in and you really can't tell too much that it isn't crab meat.

ZUCCHINI CAKES "CRAB CAKES" FOR THE POOR MAN'S BUDGET

Zucchini Cakes

I was looking for another way to use the surplus of zucchini from our garden, when I came across this recipe. I was surprised at how much they actually taste like crab cakes. Even my husband, who doesn't like zucchini, raved about this dish!

Yield 4 cakes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups zucchini (peeled and grated)
1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
1/4 cup yellow onions or 1/4 cup red onion, minced

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
fresh ground pepper, to taste

These are wonderful to have on hand for game days or when you have unexpected guests. They freeze wonderfully and the recipe is easy to double. If you can't find the Old English, Kahuna sharp cheese spread can be substituted.

Mix all of the ingredients together and allow to sit for a few minutes. You can adjust all the amounts to suit your needs- but the end result should be a mixture that will hold together when formed into patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil in your pan and place your zucchini crab cake patties in the pan and allow to cook until golden on both sides.
You can serve these as is, with ketchup or your choice of sauce or as a sandwich. These can also be made using frozen zucchini (thawed and drained), so it’s a great dish to make in the winter that uses some of your preserved summer harvest!

Add the shrimp to the bowl of a food processor and blend the shrimp by pulsing 8-10 times. (Do not hold the button down, because the consistency of the shrimp will be too fine — you want nice big chunks in your shrimp cakes.)
Remove the puréed shrimp from the processor and add to a large bowl. Add the tofu to the bowl of the food processor and purée (for this, you can hold the button down). Add the tofu to the bowl with the shrimp. Next, add the parsley, breadcrumbs, and egg and stir well. Add the juice of 1 lemon and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a shallow bowl, add about ¼-½ cup breadcrumbs. Form the batter into small, 2-by 2-inch circular patties and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded cakes on a sheet pan or plate and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set up.
In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp cakes and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Moderate the heat while you're frying the cakes so that it doesn't get too high and so the shrimp cakes don't burn.)
