Ingredients

4 servings

For the crab cakes

1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells
⅓ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp old bay seasoning
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup plain breadcrumbs, divided

For cooking

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For the pan sauce

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, 1 tsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
2
Add the crab meat and 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs to the bowl. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined — keep the crab in large pieces rather than breaking it down.
