Being an east coaster, crab cakes have long been a favorite of mine! We always ate them growing up, especially in the spring and summer. I found a healthy and anti-inflammatory recipe by Dr. Mark Hyman and have been working on a few changes to finally perfect my own recipe! I love it because it used Almond flour as a binder instead of crackers or bread crumbs. And no crab cake is complete without some Old Bay Seasoning. Give these a try and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
1 pound lump crab meat
1/4 cup almond flour
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I like Primal Kitchen)
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp ghee
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. Be gentle, so you do not break up the lumps of crabmeat. Form the crab into 4-5 round balls, then press down into cakes. Sprinkle with some additional Old Bay Seasoning.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and ghee over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the pan and sauce for 5-6 minutes per side, until brown and crisp. Serve with your favorite salad or vegetable. Enjoy!
Note: I paired these crab cakes with Scout & Cellar Gallivant Chardonnay. Their wines are free of sugar or any preservatives and I love the way they taste. Click here to learn more!
