CRAB FRITTERS WITH CHEAT'S CHILLI & CRAB MAYONNAISE



Crab fritters with cheat's chilli & crab mayonnaise image

The rich Sriracha-spiced mayo perfectly complements these moreish crispy morsels of crab and nutty gruyère. Great party nibbles and well worth the effort

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Canapes, Snack, Starter

Time 1h

Yield makes about 30 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

150g butter
225g plain flour , sifted
4 large eggs
100g gruyère , grated
2 tbsp snipped chives
200g picked white crabmeat
vegetable oil , for frying
sea salt flakes and cayenne pepper, to serve
200g good-quality mayonnaise
2 tbsp brown crabmeat
1 tbsp sriracha or chilli sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a large saucepan with 225ml water, heating slowly so that the butter melts but the water doesn't evaporate. Remove from the heat and quickly add the flour. Mix until fully incorporated and comes away from the pan, then leave to cool to room temperature. Use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth, glossy and the mix drips off the spoon after 3 secs. Beat in the cheese until combined, before folding in the chives, crab and some seasoning.
  • Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise ingredients together, season and set aside. Can be made a day ahead.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large heavy-based saucepan (no more than half full) to 160C or until a piece of bread browns in 40 secs. Using a dessertspoon, scoop spoonfuls of the batter and carefully drop them straight into the hot oil (you will need to cook them in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan). Fry each batch for 3-4 mins until golden brown, then drain on kitchen paper. Season with sea salt flakes and cayenne pepper. Serve hot with the mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to remove all of the shells and cartilage from the crab meat before cooking.
  • If the fritter mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs until it is thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the fritters hot, with the spicy lime sauce on the side.

Conclusion:

Crab fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and can be made ahead of time. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy lime sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
