Breadless Crab Cakes?
We ate dinner last night at an upscale restaurant, and I had the house-special Breadless Crab Cake appetizer (which the waitress swore was free of all breadcrumbs, flour, and starches). I'm on a crab cake kick now, so tonight I tried out a recipe I've had for a while which uses crushed pork rind "crumbs".
I'd never actually eaten pork rinds before, and it turns out that I don't really care for them. That's a pity, as this recipe uses 3 oz crumbs and definitely has a pork-rindish taste to it. The sherry/mustard cream sauce I served with them didn't hide it all the way, either.
I'd like to find a substitute for the pork rind filler (other than low-carb bread crumbs). My thoughts so far are either finely crumbled hard-boiled eggs or finely chopped sauteed mushrooms. Anyone else ever tried anything like this?
