Ingredients:
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Vegetable oil, for frying
Spicy Aioli (recipe below):
Spicy Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 minced garlic clove
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, red bell pepper, yellow onion, carrot, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions, depending on how large you want your crab-free cakes to be. Shape each portion into a patty and gently flatten slightly.
Pro Cooking Tips:
To ensure the crab-free cakes retain their shape while frying, make sure they are lightly coated with panko breadcrumbs.
For an extra crispy exterior, chill the shaped patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying.
Step-by-Step Instructions (continued):
1. Heat about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Fry the crab-free cakes in batches, if necessary, for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain the cakes on paper towels.
2. Serve the crab-free cakes hot with a dollop of Spicy Aioli on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the crab-free cakes as an appetizer or main course with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or roasted vegetables.
For a more indulgent experience, pair the crab-free cakes with some crispy fried onions and a side of garlic bread.
