Nothing fishy about this recipe here! Lump vegan crab cakes with jackfruit, corn, and green onions. Paired with tartar sauce, this recipe will have vegans and vegetarians swooned!

Vegan Jackfruit "Crab" Cakes with Tartar Sauce

jackfruit (in brine or water)

Tablespoons green onions (chopped)

corn (thawed)

juice lemon

vegan mayonnaise (I like JUST mayo brand)

dijon mustard

breadcrumbs (plus more for rolling (I used whole wheat))

Old Bay spice (plus more for rolling)

salt

mayonnaise

lemon juice

salt and pepper (to taste)

butter lettuce

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Make Tartar Sauce:

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

To Serve (optional):

I was devastated when Trader Joe's discontinued their vegan crab cakes. They were too greasy, but I managed to squeeze out a lot of the oil with paper towels. Anyway, I began searching for a recipe online and found this one. Oh. My. Gosh. They are even better than Trader Joe's!!! I did make one substitution. I don't use oil, ever. So instead of mayo I used a combo of Kite Hill vegan Chive Cream Cheese and Trader Joe's Tahini to make the 1/4 cup of mayo. It gave the right texture but didn't alter the taste. Instead of frying them in oil, I used my air fryer. FABULOUS! Thank you so much for developing this recipe. I know it took a lot of time and effort.

I've made these "crab cakes" numerous times. They are absolutely amazing.   Hands down one of our favorite vegan recipes.

I tried these tonight and they were delicious. I hadn’t tried jackfruit before, therefore I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t have enough mayonnaise, so I just used ketchup and needless to say it worked quite well.
