Im always trying to do it for the vegan community. Y’all harassed me enough for recipes and I actually grew to like playing around with vegan recipes. I recently discovered hearts of palm. They are a vegetable thats harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees. They come in a can, so they’re ready to go. It kind of reminds of jackfruit just a little bit. So I mustard up these Vegan Crab Cakes and they came out really good! The key ingredient in these Vegan Crab Cakes is the Furikake seasoning. I got mine from Trader Joes but you can easily find this seasoning at your local asian market. I recommend keeping that seasoning as a staple. Hope you guys enjoy this super simple and tasty recipe!
Vegan Crab Cakes
Ingredients
- “Crab” Cakes:
- 1 can of hearts of palm
- 1-2 tbsp vegan mayo
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2-3 tbsp panko bread crumbs or use a few crumbled up saltine crackers
- 1 roasted pepper diced
- 1 tbsp old bay
- 1 tbsp nori Komi furikake seasoning
- 2-3 tbsp Simply High Extracts Olive Oil or Butter

- Remoulade:
- 2 tbsp vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 3 tsp ketchup
- 3 tsp relish
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cajun seasoning or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Start by taking a fork and shred your hearts of palm. Shred it to your desire. I like to keep a few chunks. IT should resemble crab meat.
- Mix all your “crab” cake ingredients together. Form into patties and cover with plastic wrap and let it set in the fridge for 30 minutes to a hour.
- Meanwhile mix all of your remoulade ingredients together. As you all know I don’t measure much. So use this as a base and taste if you need more of something. Set in fridge and let those flavors come together.
- Your patties should be nice and firm. Coat in panko and old bay breading. Using your choice of oil or vegan butter. Fry each side of your patties. About 2-3 minutes each side. Depending on how thick your patties are, cooking times very. You can also bake these in a 375 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Flipping halfway thru. Be sure to spray your patties with a cooking spray before hand.
- Serve these along side a salad and top with your remoulade, enjoy!
