You Can Make Anything Vegetarian

YES! You can make pretty much any Epicure Meal Solution- Vegetarian.  This is why I love Epicure- I am #vegetarian, my family is not!  Today I used a crab cake packet that I received in one of my Subscription boxes to make Chick Pea Cakes! YES!! They were delicious.

I just followed the recipe on the back and instead of crab, I mashed up chick peas. 

Chick Peas are an amazing alternative to meat.  Check it our for yourself:For the recipe I used a tad bit of mayo, the seasoning,

and mashed chick peas. I used a little less than a can of chick peas. I pressed into mini muffin tins, although you could use the regular sized Silicone Muffin maker (you get 2 of these). 

Ingredients

oil, for greasing

about 10 oz chickpeas (less than 1 can)

1 egg

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 pkg Classic Crab Cake Seasoning

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Generously oil Muffin Maker. Set aside.
2. Drain crab meat well. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, and seasoning. Fold in crab meat. Don’t overmix; leave some chunks.  
4. Divide mixture evenly between 6 wells in Muffin Maker. Press to lightly pack.
5. Bake 15 min, or until cooked through and tops are golden-brown.
6. Let cool slightly before unmolding.

To test burgers for doneness, insert an instant read thermometer sideways into the burger. It should register 160° F.

Try Marinara Sauce. Follow label directions—all you need is 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) each crushed and diced tomatoes, plus 3 tbsp of the blend. Simmer for 15 minutes and you’ll have 6 cups of sauce ready to go! Portion and freeze leftovers.
