  • ½ cup red bell pepper, finely diced

  • ½ cup yellow onion, finely diced

  • ½ cup vegan mayo

  • 2 TBSP stone ground or dijon mustard

  • 2 TBSP fresh dill, finely chopped (preferred) or 1 tsp dried dill

  • ½ cup ground flaxseed

  • 1 ½ cup unseasoned, vegan panko bread crumbs (check ingredients label) 

  • 2 ½ TBSP old bay seasoning (or to taste)

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp dulse granules (preferred) or 1 tsp nori flakes, finely chopped

  • 2 TBSP Grapeseed or other neutral oil

METHOD

  1. PREHEAT oven to 425°F, line your baking pan(s) with parchment and set aside

  2. COMBINE garlic powder, pepper, dulse granules and 2 TBSP of old bay seasoning and set aside. 

  3. CUT in ½ then add hearts of palm to food processor; pulsing for at least three rounds of 3-4 second intervals. Once crab texture is reached, remove, set aside in large bowl and repeat until finished.

  4. ADD chickpeas to food processor and pulse for at least three rounds of 3-4 second intervals (texture of should be broken but not mushy). Add to large bowl with hearts of palm, fold to combine then set aside.

  5. ADD ¼ ground flaxseed to chickpea and hearts of palm bowl then mix to combine and set aside. 

  6. PLACE nonstick pan over medium heat, add 1-2 teaspoons of grapeseed oil.  Once warm (about 1 minute), add prepared onions, bell peppers and a teaspoon of the seasoning blend.  stir to combine, cover and sweat veggies for up to 6 minutes or until your onions are translucent (stir halfway through and replace lid to finish).

  7. REMOVE veggies from your pan, spread them out on a plate then set aside in fridge (15 minutes) or freezer (10 minutes) to speed cooling cool to at least room temperature.

  8. ADD cooled veggies and remaining spices, flaxseed, breadcrumbs and fresh herbs to your hearts of palm mixture, fold to combine evenly and set aside at least 10 minutes (this will provide time needed for last batch of flaxseed to bloom and act as a good binder).

  9. PINCH/TASTE as the flavor, at this stage, is exactly what Krabby Cake will taste like

  10. FORM into cakes then place them on parchment lined baking pan

  11. PLACE baking pan in pre-heated, 425°F oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping hallway through is optional, not required.

  12. REMOVE and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving and enjoy!
