Gluten Free Grain Free Main Dish Recipes

Organic Crab Cakes Recipe

Crab Cakes

I have been looking forward to making some delicious crab cakes for some time now!  I wanted my crab cakes to be full of crab meat and not a bunch of fillers (like bread).  I can’t stand it when I order crab cakes at a restaurant and there are more bread ingredients and vegetables in the crab cakes then crab itself.  That being said… these crab cakes are loaded with wonderful lump crab meat!  They are so simple to make.  I wanted to note a few things.  If you follow a gluten free or grain free diet, you could easily make a few adjustments to suit your needs.  Just replace the bread crumbs with about 1-2 tbsp of cooked quinoa and these crab cakes become gluten free and grain free.  I like to serve mine with a little homemade cocktail sauce.  You could make some homemade ketchup or use organic ketchup and add a little horseradish to it to make a delicious dipping sauce.

    I can’t wait to try these. I am trying to convert the nutrition info into ounces – I am getting .5 gram for fat and .7 for protein – does that ring true? I am following beyond diet and trying to see how much this recipe would amount to. I am guessing my calculations are off. I used http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/grams-to-ounces.htm

    Thanks!

    This sounds great.  I have two questions, #1. what if you don’t have “sprouted” spelt flour.  I only have ground spelt flour.  What ratio would I use in comparison to sprouted spelt flour.  (I keep my 50# bag of flour in the freezer.  I need to use this up before buying anything new.)  #2. Where would I look for real crab meat, not imitation crab meat at the grocery store?  I don’t have a fresh seafood counter at my grocery store.  Is this something that you can buy frozen or in a can?

       @BoundaryLine Hi, To answer your first question, it is sprouted bread crumbs, not spouted flour.  Do you have a sprouted bread you use?  You could also do some spelt bread and toast and make into bread crumbs that way.  And you could also use quinoa too.  In regards to question number 2, You can by crab meat in a can as well.  I used canned wild crab meat and it ran me about $20 a can (1# can), a bit pricey but all the work is done for you.

         @hallecottis Thank you for the quick reply.  I will try the crab cakes.  The look great!!!  I did make a loaf of bread from spelt bread that turned out to be a brick,  I kept the bread, sliced it, and drying it out in a paper bag.  I’m saving it just for bread crumbs. 🙂
