Ceres Organics, 5 Ways With Almond Butter

Vegan Crabless Crab Cakes

 

For that classic crab-cake style dish, easy as a bar snack, starter with a green salad, sandwiched between lovely fluffy white burger buns for an ultimate meal, I’ve created a CRACKER Ceres based recipe for the whole vegan family. Give it a crack. Mix it up with different fresh herbs, or add feta or greens to give it a boost.

 

The almond spiked curry mayo is EPIC. I was quite surprised how moreish and banging this was. Works great with vegetables, crudite, and as a salad dressing. Vegans will love this.

 

Serves 2. 10 min prep time, 10 min cook time

Vegan Crab Cake

1 tin Ceres jackfruit, drain/shred

2 tbsp Ceres vegan mayo

1 cup panko crumb

1 tbsp dijon mustard

½ cup drained corn kernels

1 tbsp Ceres Tamari

3 spring onion, sliced fine

1 tsp Cupboard spices: options paprika, curry powder, chilli flake, turmeric

 

Sauce: Spicy Curried Cocktail Sauce

3 tbsp Ceres vegan mayo

1 tbsp Ceres almond butter

1 tsp curry powder

1 tbsp Ceres ketchup

1 tsp tamari

Squeeze lemon juice to taste

 

To Prep

  • mix the jackfruit with the mayo, breadcrumb, mustard, corn, tamari and spring onion. Sprinkle over spices of your choice, I LOVE paprika, cumin and cayenne. Season.

  • Let the mix sit for 5 min, and for the crumbs to absorb the liquid and to create some ‘sticking’. If too dry, add more vegan mayo.

  • press into patties/fritters.

  • heat a non stick pan, add some neutral cooking oil/coconut oil/olive oil, heat to medium and carefully cook for 4min each side. Be careful to check it isn’t too hot as can burn easily.

  • Flip and cook a further 3-4 min. Drain on paper towel and excess oil

 

Curried Cocktail Sauce

  • Mix all ingredients well, season with tamari and lemon juice.

  • Add curry paste & almond butter, stir well

  • Add coconut cream, water, tamari and black beans

Extra: add an 8 minute peeled soft boiled egg per person with the tofu and you really have a winner.
