Vegan Jackfruit "Crab" Cakes with Tartar Sauce

Step 1

Make flax egg: Mix ground flaxseed and water and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain jackfruit and put in a large mixing bowl. Using hands, break apart jackfruit chunks, discarding any seeds or seed casings.

Step 3

Add remaining ingredients minus canola oil for crab cakes into mixing bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula.

Step 4

Pour some breadcrumbs (about 1/4 cup) and Old Bay spice (about 1 teaspoon) onto a plate. Mix well.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup, scoop out crab cake mixture and form patties with hands. Roll in breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.

Step 6

Place a nonstick pan on medium heat. Once hot, add 1/2 teaspoon canola oil and place patties onto the pan. Let cook 3-4 minutes on each side. I like to cook no more than 2 at a time. Add 1/2 teaspoon more oil between each round of cooking.

Step 7

Mix together all ingredients for the sauce. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 8

Serve jackfruit cakes warm on butter lettuce. Add fresh lemon juice and server with tartar sauce.
