[recipe & review] No Crab Cakes by Debbie

[Guest guest]

I had several zucchini to use up and wanted to

make some delicious veggie patties out of them.

I found one recipe in our files here that was

shared by Connie, and that one is very similar

to the one below; they only differ slightly.

I followed the recipe below that I got from the

veg group files that shared over there by Debbie.

Thanks Debbie, these are wonderful. I will add

my changes to the recipe in brackets.

 

No Crab Cakes by Debbie

 

Ingredients:

2 cups grated zucchini

 

[i doubled the recipe, so needed 4 cups, but only

had 3 and half cups of shredded zucchini, so I made

up the difference with shredded carrot]

 

2 large eggs -- beaten

1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs

3 green onions -- chopped

2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

1 teaspoon mayonnaise [i left the mayo out, it didn't need it]

[i also added some garlic powder, about 1/4 tsp.]

vegetable oil

tartar sauce

 

[i used some whole wheat cracker crumbs to coat the

patties before frying them in the vegetabe oil.]

 

Directions:

 

Drain zucchini, pressing between layers of paper towels.

[i just squeezed the zucch with my hands to get most

of the liquid out]

Combine zucchini and next 5 ingredients in a bowl.

Shape mixture into 8 patties (mixture will be soft).

Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch into a large heavy skillet.

Fry patties in hot oil over medium-high heat 2 minutes

on each side. Drain on paper towels; serve with tartar sauce.

 

These are so awesome and easy. I will definitely make these

again.
