DIRECTIONS

  1. Soak cashews overnight in filtered water.
  2. Make the aoili. Add all the ingredients into a blender and process until smooth. If it is too thick, thin the sauce with filtered water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste for seasoning. If you think it needs salt or more heat, simply add sea salt and more Sriracha. Blend once more to give it one last mix. Set sauce aside.
  3. In a skillet, add jalapeno pepper, bell pepper and diced sweet potato until crisp-tender for about 5 minutes. If it sticks to the pan, add a little vegetable stock or filtered water.
  4. Pour 1 cup of mixture into food processor and pulse until it is a coarse puree.
  5. In a large bowl, squeeze hearts of palm to break into shards. Add puree and remaining sautéed vegetables to bowl, along with old bay seasoning, parsley, cashew cream, Dijon mustard, ¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs, ume plum vinegar and cayenne pepper and stir until thoroughly combined. Taste the mixture, adjust for seasoning, and mix.
  6. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Place breadcrumbs on a plate.
  7. Create ¼ cup patties of the mixture and roll into breadcrumbs to coat. Transfer patties onto the lined baking sheet until they’re ready to be cooked. Makes 9 “crab” cakes.
  8. To bake these, place the “crab” cakes on a baking sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. At the halfway point, flip the “crab” cakes.
  9. Alternatively, you can fry these. Pour 1/8 inch oil in skillet and heat oil on medium heat to 350 degrees F
  10. 1Serve hot with aoli and a salad.
