Super easy and great for Vegans and Vegetarians. You won't believe that it isn't crab.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (vegan mayo)
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (vegan Worcestershire sauces or coconut amino—See notes)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (add ½ more for intense flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 8 oz fresh Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
- 1 small onion-minced
- 1 small red pepper-minced
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
Directions
- Cut off the bottom of the Lion’s Mane where it was attached. It should be a small brown area. Either chop or shred with your fingers into bite sized pieces. Put into a dry pan, one with no oil, at medium heat. Cook until brown, stirring often. Depending on the pan and size of the pieces this takes about 8-12 minutes.
- Mince the onion and red pepper. Sweat them in a pan with a small amount of oil on medium heat. Stir frequently. They are done when the oils are translucent. This will take about 5 minutes.
Mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, and salt in a bowl. Gently combine in the cooked Lion’s Mane, onions, and red pepper. Once combined, slowly stir in the Panko bread crumbs.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to one day.
- Preheat a pan to medium heat. Add oil or butter to the pan. Carefully shape 4-5 round cakes with your hands. Be sure to pat them firmly so that they stick together. Place them in the warm pan. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side. They should be nicely browned and warm in the middle.
- Serve warm with a salad.
- Seal any leftovers in a container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Recipe Note
Worcestershire sauce is often vegan and you don’t need to buy a special brand. It is also usually soy free. Just check your ingredients. If it says fish try the organic section too see if their brand is vegan.
