ZUCCHINI CAKES "CRAB CAKES" FOR THE POOR MAN'S BUDGET



Zucchini Cakes

I was looking for another way to use the surplus of zucchini from our garden, when I came across this recipe. I was surprised at how much they actually taste like crab cakes. Even my husband, who doesn't like zucchini, raved about this dish!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 18m

Yield 4 cakes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups zucchini (peeled and grated)
1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
1/4 cup yellow onions or 1/4 cup red onion, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
fresh ground pepper, to taste
canola oil or olive oil, for frying
cayenne pepper (optional, for a little extra spice)

Steps:

  • Spread grated zucchini on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. If you fail to do this, your cakes will be too wet.
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini and butter. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  • Coat your hands in oil, and shape mixture into patties. Coat each patty in flour. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides. (About 3-5 min per side).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh zucchini. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini to bind together and create a more cohesive crab cake.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help to prevent the crab cakes from becoming too watery.
  • Use a combination of lump crab meat and claw meat. Lump crab meat is more expensive, but it has a more delicate flavor. Claw meat is less expensive, but it has a more robust flavor. Using a combination of the two will give you the best of both worlds.
  • Gently fold the ingredients together. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Connie's Zucchini Crab Cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or a casual weeknight dinner. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these crab cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
