- Dice Lion's Mane mushroom into large pieces. Toss in olive oil and roast in oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through. The mushroom will shrink substantially as the water cooks out.
- When ready, put mushroom food processor and pulse 4-5 times until mix is broken down in smaller chunks.
- In a separate bowl mix together the egg, Greek yogurt, lime, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Use a whisk to evenly mix the wet ingredients. Add breadcrumbs and pulsed mushroom mixture.
- Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon (depending on the desired size of the crab cakes) to measure equal portions of crab cakes. With your hands, form into cakes.
- Heat coconut oil in non-stick pan on medium heat and fry until lightly browned on both sides.
- Finish with a touch of sea salt
