Vegan Krabby Cakes
A mixture of hearts of palm, chickpeas and spices make these just as delicious as the non-vegan traditional version.
Equipment

- blender optional
Ingredients
Cakes
- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 cans hearts of palm chopped into large pieces
- 1 whole jalapeno seeded and minced
- ¼ cup vegan mayo
- 1 ½ tbsp Old Bay seasoning adjust to taste
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 ½ cup panko bread crumbs (reserve ½ cup for coating)

- ¼ cup fresh dill weed
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Cakes
- Place chickpeas, hearts of palm, & jalapeno into a food processor and pulse to combine and mash. Be careful not to overprocess, you still want some crabby texture.1 can chickpeas, 2 cans hearts of palm, 1 whole jalapeno
- Scoop the chickpea mixture into a large bowl and add the vinegar, Old Bay seasoning, mustard, mayo, & 1 cup panko bread crumbs. Stir to combine.¼ cup vegan mayo, 1 ½ tbsp Old Bay seasoning, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- Place the remaining ½ cup panko into a shallow dish.
- Heat an oil coated skillet on medium-high heat. Form the "crab" mixture into patties – making sure to pack the mixture tightly. You should get 6-8 patties depending on how big you like them. Coat each pattie in the panko in the shallow dish.
- Pan fry for about 3 minutes on each side. It helps to use 2 spatulas to flip them over. Drain on a paper towel covered plate. Serve with the aioli sauce.
Red Pepper Aioli
- Remove peppers from jar and dry off excess liquid. Add to blender or food processor along with mayo, dill, red wine vinegar, & pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust for seasonings as necessary.½ cup vegan mayo, 1 jar roasted red peppers, ¼ cup fresh dill weed, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp black pepper
Notes
Adapted from a recipe by Jenne Clariborne.
I used 1 1/2 Tbsp of Old Bay and it was enough flavor for me. Adjust to your taste.
