Low FODMAP Crab Cakes — just like the fan favorite! They can be eaten as a weeknight dinner course or served as a starter with garnish and elegant presentation. There is an optional Roasted Red Pepper Sauce in the Sauce & Others section to accompany the crab cakes (it’s another step to make but tastes incredible).
Make sure to use gluten free breadcrumbs which are also free of lactose and other culprits. Three good brands include: Gillian Bread Crumbs Wheat Free Gluten Free Dairy Free, 12-Ounce (Pack of 4)
