Crab Fritters

While perfect as a starter, there is nothing I like better for an easy lunch than a batch of these fritters served  with salad

Ingredients:

500 g (1 lb) crab meat, you can also use smoked, flaked salmon
1/4 cup coconut flour
½ small red onion diced fine
½ cup green bell pepper dices fine
4 spring onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
juice of ½ lemon
½ cup gluten-free mayonnaise
2 eggs, lightly beaten
olive or coconut oil, for frying


Directions:

Combine and mix all ingredients except ghee/oil in a large bowl and firm it into a ball and let it rest covered in the fridge for 1 hour. 

Heat 1 tbsp ghee/oil in a frying pan. Shape paddies using 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place into the pan, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) between each. Cook for about 2 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel.  

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more ghee/oil to the pan as needed.

Serve fritters hot with your favorite seasonal fresh salad.  

Tip: For smaller paddies I remove 1 tbsp of the mix at a time, plane in the center of the palm of one hand then press the other hand against the mixture and it forms a small, compact fritter/paddies.
