GLUTEN FREE CRABCAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Pick through crab meat to ensure no shells remain. Clean, drain and set aside. In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir eggs, onion, spices, mustard and Tabasco. Add crab meat and stir gently with a fork. Slowly add gluten free breadcrumbs or crushed tortilla chips or cereal - adding only enough to help the mixture stay together in patties when formed. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to cook. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with aluminum foil then spraying lightly with cooking oil. Divide mixture into approximately 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Place on the oiled foil, spaced apart from one another by at least 1 inch. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip and bake another 5 minutes. Test to ensure the internal temperature is 165 F. Add bake time if necessary to ensure they are cooked through, then switch the bake setting to broil and monitor for another 3-5 minutes while broiling to lightly brown the tops. To make them extra crispy after cooking, pan fry in a preheated hot pan, lightly coated with high heat cooking oil, flipping after 1-2 minutes; serve immediately. Remove and serve over salad greens or on a gluten free bun for the ultimate crab cake sandwich!

GLUTEN-FREE CRAB CAKES {DAIRY-FREE}

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, gluten-free Dijon mustard, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt.
• Add the parsley, gluten-free bread crumbs, and then the crab meat on top. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently fold together the ingredients, so you do not break up the crab meat.
• Cover the crab cake mixture with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Spray a baking sheet with gluten-free cooking spray. I used olive oil spray.
• Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. If you are baking the crab cakes, do not flatten them. Use your hands or a spoon to compact each crab cake. If you are frying the crab cakes you will need to flatten them into patties.

GLUTEN-FREE CRAB CAKES WITH SNAP PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, lemon zest, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp. mustard, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl.
• Finely chop 4 scallions, then finely chop mint to yield 2 Tbsp. total, reserving remaining leaves; add to egg mixture. Add jalapeño (if using), almond meal, and cornmeal and stir to combine. Fold in crabmeat, then form into 12 (1/2"-thick) patties.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook crab cakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk 1/2 tsp. mustard, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl. Thinly slice remaining 2 scallions on an angle; transfer to bowl with dressing. Add sugar snap peas, radishes, and reserved mint leaves; toss to combine.
• Whisk remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. mustard, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a small bowl.
• Serve crab cakes with salad and mayonnaise sauce alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Crab cake patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Arrange in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and chill.
