Vegan Crab Cakes

Directions
In a food processor, add the chickpeas and artichoke hearts pulse until this mixture has a chunky coarse texture.
Pour this chickpea/artichoke mixture to a large bowl and stir in the vegan mayo, panko, dijon mustard, NOOCH IT!, fresh dill, garlic powder and salt.
Using approx 1/4 cup, measure out this crab mixture into a patty shape using slightly wet hands, then gently coat/press each patty into the panko crumbs.
Heat a large non-stick skillet with 2 tbsp oil, over medium high heat. When your pan is hot, add crab cakes and pan fry for 3-4 mins on each side.
Transfer to a rack to cool.
Repeat these steps adding more oil after you pan fry each batch of crab cakes. You may have to turn down the heat as you go if your crab cakes are browning too fast.
Serve hot, with vegan tartar sauce for dipping.
