    How to make a pita bread roll with crab sticks and cucumber? First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. You will need large chicken eggs, two small cucumbers, 3-4 pieces of crab sticks, lettuce leaves and one thin pita bread of round or any other shape. How to choose the right pita bread?

    Boil hard-boiled eggs (8-10 minutes after boiling). Turn off the fire. Drain the boiling water. Fill with cold water and cool. Now peel off the shell. Finely chop the eggs or grate them on a coarse grater. Place on top of the lettuce leaves. Lightly brush this and subsequent layers with mayonnaise. If for some reason you don't want to use mayonnaise, replace it with sour cream or natural yogurt without additives.

    Step 4.

    Wash and dry the fresh cucumbers. If the peel is not hard, not damaged and not bitter, you do not need to cut it. Cut the cucumbers lengthwise into four pieces. Defrost frozen crab sticks. Put them on a cutting board, let them thaw. Now remove the film. If it unwinds badly, hold the sticks over the steam for 1-3 seconds. Whole, without cutting, put the sticks on the egg layer. Apply a mayonnaise mesh on them.

    How to roll pita bread into a roll? Fold carefully and as tightly as possible so that the filling does not fall out at the edges, and the pita bread itself does not break.

Wrap it in plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for 20 minutes so that it is well soaked and becomes soft.

In mayonnaise (sour cream or yogurt) sauce, you can add 1-2 cloves passed through a garlic press.

How to buy crab sticks correctly? When buying, look at the composition and expiration date on the package. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Do not buy the product if there is frost on it, which indicates repeated freezing. Fresh sticks should be elastic, moist, stain-free and not sticky.

If you use mayonnaise, I recommend cooking it yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. Recipe options you can find here
