Vegan-friendly and vegetarian, Artichoke Crab Cakes eliminate crab as an ingredient from the well-known dish.
As a dish featured in the 'But I Could Never Go Vegan!' cookbook, Artichoke Crab Cakes are completely vegetable-based and cater to those with a meatless diet. This dish is considered a casual meal that requires minimal preparation. The ingredients are fairly easy to source and can be located within most local grocery stores. Using canned artichoke hearts, corn kernels, oyster crackers and various spices, these cakes are constructed, then fried. Though Artichoke Crab Cakes are delicious enough to consume alone, a Sriracha tartar sauce is delicately poured over the seafood-less biscuits for added flavor.
These unconventional crab cakes make the perfect party appetizer.
