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

Categories     Appetizer

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

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!

Time 18m

Yield 4 cakes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
fresh ground pepper, to taste
canola oil or olive oil, for frying
cayenne pepper (optional, for a little extra spice)

Steps:

  • Spread grated zucchini on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. If you fail to do this, your cakes will be too wet.
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini and butter. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  • Coat your hands in oil, and shape mixture into patties. Coat each patty in flour. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides. (About 3-5 min per side).
