Crab Cakes

Very easy to prepare, hearty and delicious dish! It is not necessary to focus attention on the number of ingredients. Maybe more crab sticks, or more cheese.. it doesn't matter at all. I took the number of products from those that were available and did not weigh them. It flies well as a snack for the holidays, as a snack we make smaller portions, the size of meatballs. And the children eat meatballs :)

Step 1:
How to make crab cutlets? Lightly defrost and grate the frozen crab sticks. It can be passed through a meat grinder or ground in a blender.
Step 2:
Add a piece of grated cheese and a clove of garlic passed through the press.
Step 3:
Add 1-2 eggs. If necessary, you can add a couple of spoons of flour (rice, oatmeal, chickpeas, any to taste). Stir until smooth dough.
Step 4:
Form cutlets, breading them in ground breadcrumbs and fry in oil on each side for 3 minutes. Serve with a salad of fresh vegetables.

The dish is perfect as an independent snack. It is delicious both hot and cold, as well as as a second course with a side dish of fresh vegetables.

How to buy crab sticks correctly? Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of the product. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Important! Do not buy the product if it has frost on it. This is a sign of repeated freezing. Fresh sticks should be free of gray and yellow spots, elastic and slightly moist. If the product is sticky, it means it is spoiled.

The film in which each crab stick is wrapped is sometimes poorly removed. To facilitate the process, hold the sticks over steam for 1-3 seconds.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the smoking point at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
