Ingredients

  • 1 large potato
  • 400 grams tinned jackfruit (225g drained weight)
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 3 tsp seaweed flakes
  • 3 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Prior to making the crab cakes, peel and quarter the potato. Add to a saucepan and boil until soft enough to mash. Mash the potato and place to one side.
  • While the mashed potato is cooling, pre-heat your oven to 200C/gas mark 6/392F.
  • Once the mashed potato has cooled, add it to a mixing bowl along with the rest of the ingredients.

  • Take a small plate and cover with a thick layer of panko breadcrumbs. Next, brush a baking try lightly with oil. Keep both nearby as the next step is about to get messy!
  • Using your hands, squeeze together the ingredients making sure to break apart any large pieces of jackfruit and ensuring all of the ingredients are well combined.
  • Take 1/6th of the mix and form into a patty shape. Place the patty into the breadcrumbs pressing gently to ensure they stick. Flip the patty over and repeat.
  • Once the patty is completely covered in breadcrumbs place onto the baking tray and repeat with the rest of the mix.

  • Serve straight from the oven with a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce.

Notes

This recipe can get a little messy so make sure you've got everything you need to hand before you dive in. Nothing breaks up the jackfruit better than your hands so don't be tempted to try and mash the ingredients together with a fork or similar utensil.
