Crab Cakes with Fennel, Artichoke and Broad Bean salad Recipe
The combination of fennel, artichoke and broad beans accompanied with crab cakes, fresh shavings of parmesan and a zesty dressing is a winner.
Ingredients
- 1 box crab cakes
- Cooking oil for shallow frying
- 4 baby fennel bulbs
- A jar of marinated artichoke hearts, drained

For the dressing
