Okay, I've searched but I'm not finding Bruce's recipe for Poor Man's Crab Cakes. Can you direct me to it, please.
Thanks, k

woogers_1 · 07-12-2008, 05:52 PM

I think its on LindaSues recipe site, she has the link above in her post. Try that and if its not there, let me know and I will type it here for you. They are fabulous!

ksm · 07-12-2008, 06:08 PM

Poor Man's Crab Cakes * Here it is! At LindaSues under chicken.

ksm · 07-12-2008, 06:49 PM

Chicken for crab?!? Must be chicken of the sea - LOL.

If it's Linda's it's got to be good. My dh asks where I get some of the great things I make. He's never sure if I came up with it myself or not (I'm pretty much a recipe girl, so generally I don't make it up myself). But there was that cheese rice I used to fix for the kids that they loved - Minute rice with cheese slices added while it cooked. Hmmmm, shredded cauli w/cheese then nuke?

Thanks so much.

woogers_1 · 07-12-2008, 07:44 PM

Lol, yep...chicken for crab. Poor mans crab cake!

LindaSue · 07-13-2008, 05:33 PM

I'm glad you were able to track down the recipe. I just now got a chance to read this thread. I seem to recall that Bruce developed that recipe as a way to perfect the seasonings, etc. before using real, expensive crab meat to make crab cakes. Of course they taste good even though they're not made with crab meat.

BRUCE'S POOR MAN'S CRAB CAKES
16-18 ounces canned chicken *
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 tablespoons fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives, chopped
2 tablespoons green onion tops, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
Pinch salt, optional
Pinch pepper
1/4 cup oil

Break the chicken up into very small bits. Squeeze all of the moisture out of the meat. Mix all of the ingredients and shape in 4 patties. I put a sheet of wax paper on a small baking sheet then dropped the chicken mixture into piles. I used my hands to shape each pile into a patty. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties 4-5 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until golden brown on each side.

Makes 2-4 servings
Can be frozen

* I used two 10-ounce cans of white meat chicken and after draining both cans I ended up with only 10 ounces of meat total. I think the amount called for is the weight before draining because I seemed to have plenty for the recipe. I'm not too happy about paying for 10 ounces of water though. I based the nutritional counts on the actual amount of chicken, not 16-20 ounces.

I made these today with the golden flaxseed meal. Had 2 with a cheeseburger tonight, very tasty and they sure hold up well for a sandwich bun. I want to try one tomorrow toasted with some butter so I will get more of the flavor of just the bun. Also, thought about trying a sweeter, cinnamon type version to toast for breakfast, has anyone tried sweeter versions? Very nice LindaSue, thanks once again.

SHinOK · 07-15-2008, 09:19 AM

Thanks for posting this, Woogers. I was just talking to DH last night about finding a nice hearty bread substitute that has the texture of WW or rye bread. This should do the trick!

LindaSue, do these store well? My problem with oopsies is how sticky they get. These look like they might hold up a lot better.

Do you know if they can be frozen?

woogers_1 · 07-15-2008, 12:13 PM

I've had mine in the fridge for up to a week, and they stay nice and soft! Never froze them though.

LindaSue · 07-15-2008, 05:05 PM

Yes, I've frozen them many times. Because I don't eat breads every day, I only thaw what I'm going to use. I'll put one in the fridge the night before or briefly microwave one on the fly. They also don't take all that long to thaw on the counter if you plan ahead.

Buffy45 · 07-15-2008, 08:25 PM

Split one and toasted it tonight, then spread with butter. Yum. I can't wait to get the time to try some different versions. I do like the texture of them.
