This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Crab Bombs

Description

A few weeks ago I pulled a recipe out of my “gotta make this” file and tried it out. Russ loved it. Last night, it was requested again. A little time consuming, but worth it!

Ingredients

2 avocados

8 oz crab meat (imitation works just fine)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp Sriracha

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups flour

4 eggs + 1/2 cup water (egg wash)

4 cups vegetable oil

Panko

Directions

Cut avocados in half, lengthwise. Discard seed and remove skin. Keep avocado intact and place in freezer while prepping. Combine crab, mayo, Sriracha, lemon juice and salt and mix well to incorporate. Place 2 oz of crab mix into hollowed-out half avocado. Mix should be formed as the other half of the avocado. Repeat with other 3 halves of avocado and place in freezer. Set up a breading station using the flour, egg wash, and panko. In that order, bread each bomb. Completely cover bomb with flour, but knock off excess. Then do the same with the egg wash and finally the panko. You may hold these for up to 3 days. In a 2-quart pot, heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry bombs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and cut in half. Plate and enjoy drizzled with sauces. We drizzled Eel sauce, spicy mayo, Wasabi mayo and a lemon-pepper mayo sauce.
