Introduction

This recipe is based on a Paula Deen recipe, but I have lightened it up considerably, made it keto-friendly by using crushed pork rinds as a binder, and added lots more veggies! My nutritional info is based on the mini version, but this recipe can also make 10 large crab cakes.

Ingredients

    0.50 cup Egg substitute, liquid (Egg Beaters)
    2 tbsp Olive Oil
    2 cloves Garlic
    1 tbsp Parsley
    100 Green Peppers (bell peppers)
    100 Shallots
    100 Peppers, sweet, red, fresh
    1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
    2 tsp Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard
    42 grams Pork rinds, Epic artisanal salt & pepper
    16 oz Crab Meat (Claw) - Culinary Reserve
    0.13 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion, bell peppers, and garlic until the pepper is limp, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.


Add the egg substitute, mustard, parsley, Old Bay Seasoning, and 1/2 of the pork rind "bread crumbs," and mix well. Check for moisture, and if needed, add a dash of milk or almond milk if needed. Gently fold in the crabmeat.


Form the mixture into 10 large patties, or about 30 mini crab cakes. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 of the pork rind bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese. Pat this topping onto both sides of the patties. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.


Using a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Saute the crab cakes for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. These crab cakes can also be baked for 7 to 10 minutes in a 400 degree F oven.


I serve these with a version of Paula's Lemon-Dill Sauce as well as a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

    Very Good
    I liked the additional vegetables that were added! These were very good, although I would suggest more Old Bay (I added 2.5 tsp) and maybe additional onions. Also, I would use lump crab meat. Overall very good recipe! - 7/6/09
