These crab cakes skip the bread crumbs and are loaded with riced cauliflower! Nope, I am not mad about it and you won’t be either. Matter a fact, I like them better as they do not taste like they have “filler”. You know what I am talking about, you order the crab cakes and wonder where all the crab is! LOL. Also, a cooking trick below helps to make them perfect every time.
Crab Cakes w/ Lemon Aioli
ingredients
16 oz lump crab meat
1 cup roasted cauliflower riced
Handful of fresh parsley
1/2 lemon juiced
1 egg
1 tbls mayo
1 tbls ghee
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tbls old bay
Dash garlic powder
How To
Roast your cauliflower if you have not, 375 until slightly browned. (leave the oven on) I usually stash some leftovers for this. Run the cauliflower and parsley through a chopper, place in a bowl. Add all other ingredients except crab, mix well. Fold in crab until well incorporated. Shape into 6 cakes and place on a piece of parchment paper/baking sheet.
Bake for 15 mins. Remove and brown in heated skillet with ghee.
Serve with an aioli if desired, goes together really well. But just great as is!
