Gluten Free Crab Cakes with Horseradish Sauce is an elegant meal, great for all - whether they're following a gluten-free diet or not!

I've been so busy with costuming stuff, it's been a while since I posted a recipe... and even longer since I've posted something gluten-free. Well, let's fix that 🙂

Gluten-Free Crab Cakes

These Gluten-Free Crab Cakes are everything you could want in a crab cake - flavourful, colourful, very quick and easy to make.

The ingredients come together quickly, and cooking takes almost no time at all!

The result is a meal that is suitable as a quick and relatively healthy weeknight meal... but also elegant and impressive for entertaining.

With Valentine's Day coming up, this is a great recipe to have in your arsenal, for your gluten-free sweetie!

Horseradish Sauce for Gluten-Free Crab Cakes

While these crab cakes are fantastic on their own - maybe with a little lemon squeezed over them! - the horseradish sauce really kicks it up a bit!

This is super easy to make and only has 3 ingredients. You'll want to make it at least an hour ahead, though - it really benefits from letting the ingredients mingle for a while!

Horseradish Sauce

½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 Tbsp+ prepared horseradish

Whisk together until well blended, chill for 1 hour. Taste, add more horseradish if you'd like more bite.
