Crusties (cross between Salmon Patties & Crab Cakes)

Crusties were created by borrowing the recipe for Happy Hearts Crab Cakes from Sweet Potato Soul by Jenne Claiborne.  Her recipe is perfect - but you know me I seem to never follow a recipe exactly!  But if you have those items - by all means try it!!!  Oh and buy her cookbook on Amazon - it is really good!

Crusties

In a blender - blend until just slightly pulsed.  You want some texture to remain - blend:
2 drained cans of hearts of palm
1 drained can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

Mix together:
Blended hearts of palm & beans
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs
1/4 cup Just mayo
2 T of apple cider vinegar
1 T Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
2 T lemon juice
Salt & Pepper

Make patties - coat with bread crumbs & "fry" in an air fryer for about 10 minutes.  So wonderful on top of a salad with Just Thousand and Just Ranch!

Have you ever cooked with Hearts of Palm - a first for me and they are perfect!

Coat patty with more bread crumbs

Serve on top of salad with Just Thousand & Just Ranch

Add a glass a wine and you are set!
