Oyster Mushroom Vegan Crab Cakes are one of my favorite alternative dishes. Seasoned with old bay and other classic ingredients, these crabless cakes remind me that plant-based dishes don’t have to lack flavor or be boring. It’s perfect as a side dish or between a freshly toasted buttered bun. No matter which way you pick, this dish is a must try!
