Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 ounces each) Hearts of palm
- 1 can (14 ounces) Artichoke hearts
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the hearts of palm and artichoke hearts thoroughly.
Step 2
Using a fork, shred the hearts of palm into strands that resemble crab meat. Roughly chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Tear the nori sheets into small pieces and grind them into a powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to create a seaweed seasoning.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hearts of palm, chopped artichoke hearts, nori powder, olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Mix gently to coat all ingredients without breaking them up too much.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by bringing 1 cup of water to a simmer in a pot with a steamer basket inserted on top.
Step 6
Line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then add the mixture of hearts of palm and artichoke hearts to the basket.
Step 7
Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and infused with the seasonings.
Step 8
While the mixture is steaming, slice the lemon into wedges and chop the parsley for garnish.
Step 9
Carefully remove the steamer basket and transfer the steamed 'crab' mixture to a serving dish.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy your vegan steamed crab!
