Zucchini Stuffed Crab Cakes Recipe image

(Almost) everyone loves a good crab cake. But let's face it: A lot of crab cakes are made with the same crab, breadcrumb, spice mixture. You wanna win points next time you're making apps or hors d'oeuvres? Stuff those puppies with fresh-from-the-garden (or farm stand) summer squash or zucchini. It'll add texture and a cool contrast to the spices, and you'll be that cool person who made the memorable crab cakes.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 cup zucchini
1/4 cup green onion
1 egg
1/3 cup seasoned fine dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon snipped fresh lemon thyme or thyme
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 ounces cooked lump crabmeat
cooking oil
8 (1/4-inch thick) slices
green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
3 tablespoons yellow tomato
1 -2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Directions:
  • In a medium skillet heat the 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and the 1/4 cup green onion in hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes or just until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates. Cool slightly.
  • In a medium bowl combine egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Add zucchini mixture and crabmeat; mix well. Using moistened hands, shape crab mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  • Lightly brush a grill pan with additional oil; heat over medium heat. Cook crab cakes for about 6 minutes or until golden brown and heated through, turning once. If cakes brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.
