Crispy Louisiana Style Crab Cakes - Gluten-Free
Prep Time
30 minutes
Cooking Time
15 minutes
Yields
6 Crab Cakes
Ingredients
- 2 cans 4.25 oz white crab meat
- 2 - 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- gluten free flour for dusting; Pamela's gluten free flour works well - or Bob's Redmill gluten-free flour
- 1/2 slice plain gluten-free bagel or 1 slice plain gluten-free bread; use small food processor & crush into small fine bread crumbs
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons organic mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon nice Dijon mustard
- 1/4 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon pink salt
- 1/4 tsp Chinese style chili paste - or favorite spicy chili sauce
Directions
1) Add all ingredients to mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
2) Carefully scoop mixture into patties - using the gluten free flour to lightly dust the palms of hands. Your hands will get goopy, wash in between if necessary.
Gently form patties, and place on platter, lightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate a minimum of 15 - 20 minutes to set.
Tip: These patties can be made as appetizers, smaller in size if desired. Crab cakes can be made ahead of time and refrigerated up to 24 hours in advance.
3) Heat coconut oil until cooking temperature - be careful not to let the oil smoke.
4) Using a large flat spatula, gently add crab cakes to heated oil. Cook crab cakes approximately 1-2 minutes on each side. Be careful to gingerly "scoop" cakes along side of pain as leverage and gently flip cakes over to complete cooking on both sides..
5) Place cooked crab cakes on paper towel lined platter. Then serve.
