This recipe for chilli and lemon crab cakes was born when I was wandering around the supermarket the other day and found a tin of crabmeat. They’re high in protein, so they will keep you full for a long time and really delicious. I served mine with a large side salad. They’re gluten-free, paleo, and lactose-free and can be made with store-cupboard ingredients for a leisurely, healthy lunch! They could be made in advance and taken with you for an on-the-go meal/snack.
As with all my recipes, the combinations are endless. You could use a different canned fish, like tuna or salmon, and change the spices – taking out the chilli if you’re not a fan of spice for example. I hope you enjoy making these chilli and lemon crab cakes.

- Add the egg to the mixture slowly until you have a firm mixture with which you can form cakes.
