Whole-Grain Crab Cakes
Using whole wheat bread to make the breadcrumbs turns these into a hearty, satisfying dish - while the Greek Yogurt helps keep them from drying out.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 pound crab meat drained and rinsed (don’t use the imitation stuff; it’s loaded with sugar and fillers)
- 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt I like Fage but any brand will do
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 3 slices 100% whole wheat sandwich bread crumbed in the blender or food processor
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce more or less, based on your preference
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat.
- Divide evenly into 8 balls, then shape into 1-inch thick patties and fry gently, about 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
