Until now, you only cooked your crabs au gratin, soufflé and salad? It is high time to vary the way you prepare this food by trying other variations of this crustacean. I offer you these very tasty recipes for a crab-based sandwich.
You understood it, to prepare soft and tasty crab sandwiches for 4 people, you must have at least 240 grams of crab meat, otherwise the bread will completely absorb the flavor of the shellfish.
You then have two options. The first is to supply you with whole crab from your usual fishmonger. But in this case, you must take care of removing the pulpit from the shell, claws and legs yourself. This is a task that I find particularly tedious and which requires a lot of patience
To recover enough flesh, chrono in hand, you must easily devote a few hours of your time to it, especially if you have not yet mastered the techniques of shelling crabs.
In any case, the mistake that should not be made is to shell the raw crustacean. My trick? I start by cooking them in salted and peppery water. I let it cool then I remove the shells. Then using a toothpick, I gently peel off the flesh from the cartilage. And once I'm done with the body, I do the same with the legs and claws, which I break with a nutcracker.
However, as the shelling is very long, I find it more interesting to buy crab meat already prepared. I also regularly place orders on Nautilus. Two well-drained cans of crab meat are more than enough to prepare delicious sandwiches for your little family.
As with all other shellfish, the basic crab sandwich recipe is prepared with avocado. With this recipe with crab, you won't disappoint your guests. For the crab and avocado sandwich you will need two cans of crab meat, which you will find at Nautilus, two very ripe avocados, about fifteen slices of sandwich bread, without forgetting a few olive tomatoes, olive oil and the essential lemon.
Regarding the seasoning of the crab and the avocado, lemon mixed with salt and pepper will be more than enough, all drizzled with a drizzle of olive oil. Otherwise, when it comes to assembling the sandwich, of course you have to start with the sandwich bread, followed by slices of avocado and crab crumbs. Then come the tomatoes cut into slices, then you can cover everything again with another slice of bread.
Otherwise, instead of wholemeal bread, I also use rye bread, or sometimes slices of country bread. My neighbor has a great preference for sesame round breads. But in this case then it will no longer be sandwiches, but crab burgers.
And for seasoning, if the mixture of lemon, salt, and pepper is too bland for you, to spice up the sandwich a little, you can also add a little Tabasco. Finally, people who don't like dry sandwiches can spread their sandwich loaves with mayonnaise, cocktail sauce or tzatziki.
