Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh crab meat
- 0.5 cup curried carrot hummus
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, curried carrot hummus, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently with a spatula or your hands until the ingredients are well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 2.5 inches in diameter.
Place the formed crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the crab cakes warm with a side of lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
