How to cook a salad of crab sticks. Crab salad - royal recipes for any celebration

Natural crab meat is a very healthy, light and extremely tasty product. However, due to its considerable cost, it is extremely rare on our table, even in holidays. Most of us prefer to use the less expensive surimi meat substitute in our crab salad. However, those who have ever had the opportunity to try a natural product understand how big the difference between them is.

In the life of each of us there are various holidays, solemn moments, for example, a romantic dinner, a marriage proposal, a wedding, an anniversary, etc., which we so want to keep in memory for a longer time. That is why it is worth giving Special attention dishes that accompany the festive feast. And natural crab meat, so rare in our diet, will complement and enrich amazing events.

Salad "Snow"

This recipe got its name not from the frosty taste or the original serving “in the snow”, but from its main ingredient - snow crab meat, and also for its tenderness. The rest of the components are quite simple and mundane, so they won’t make your wallet “lose weight” much. Crab salad is ideal for a festive feast for any occasion, and when served in bowls, it can become the main appetizer romantic evening for lovers.

We will need:

• Boiled-frozen natural crab meat (packed) - 500 grams;
• Chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
• Fresh green cucumber - 2 pcs. (about 150 grams);
• Delicate hard cheese (not spicy, lightly salted) - 150 grams;
• Vinegar 6% - 1 tbsp. l.;
• Red onion (can be onion) - 1 pc.;
• Mayonnaise - 3 tbsp. l.

Cooking:

1. Natural crab meat is naturally defrosted (without the use of a microwave, grill, etc.). Let the resulting juice drain, separate the veins, cut into thin chips or tear into fibers;
2. Boil the eggs until fully cooked, cool, remove the shell, take out the yolks, remove them away. In this salad, only proteins are useful to us, so we cut them into strips;
3. Wash the onion, remove the husk, cut into half rings or cubes. Scald with boiling water, then pour in a little vinegar, let marinate for 6-8 minutes. Then drain the brine, lightly dry the onion;
4. With a vegetable peeler, remove thin skins from a pre-washed cucumber, then rub it on a coarse grater;
5. Similarly to a vegetable, we rub our cheese;
6. We collect our crab salad: in a separate dish we combine crab meat, dried onions, cucumber pulp, egg whites and most cheese. If desired, you can also add a little chopped greens. We fill the mixture with mayonnaise sauce, then put it in a salad bowl or portioned vases. Decorate with the rest of the cheese chips on top.

Tip: Boiled-frozen crab fillet assumes its complete readiness for consumption and no need for heat treatment. However, given the impossibility of tracking how things were with its storage and transportation before sale, it is better to pour boiling water over it for 5 minutes, and then drain the water, thereby avoiding possible negative consequences. It won't affect the taste of the salad.

Layered salad with natural crab

This salad recipe involves the use of natural live crab, which you will have to cook and cut yourself. Your time and effort will definitely pay off with an extraordinary taste and rave reviews from guests. However, if time or finances do not allow making crab salad, you can always use ready-made boiled and frozen fillets.

We will need:

• Live medium-sized crab (0.7-1.2 kg);
• Sweet hard cheese (Maasdam, Emmental, etc.) - 170 grams;
• Cucumber - the same;
• Ripe sweet tomato (but hard) - 180 grams;

• Lavrushka - 1 leaf;
• Peppercorns - 5 pieces;
• Sea salt - 2 tablespoons;
• Cloves - 2 pcs.;
• Garlic - 1 clove;

Cooking:

1. Boiling a live crab is not difficult at all if you follow correct instruction. To begin with, pour water into a large saucepan, it should be about 2 times larger in volume than the mass of the crab. Let it boil, add lavrushka leaves, peppercorns, cloves and sea ​​salt. Along the way, peel the garlic and push it through a press, add to the broth. citrus fruit wash, cut and squeeze the juice also into the pan. We mix everything and let it boil again;
2. Then we throw the crab into the brine, wait for it to boil, cook for 15-17 minutes. With prolonged digestion, we can get a “rubber” and tasteless fillet, and if we cook less, we risk severe poisoning. The finished crab turns out to be a rich red color;
3. We take it out of the brine and put it on the back to cool, this will avoid loss of juice from the meat;
4. While the main ingredient is cooling, proceed to the rest of our recipe. We wash the tomatoes well, then cut them into not too thin circles, which we then divide into quarters;
5. My cucumber, remove the skin, cut into medium cubes;
6. We cut the cheese in the same shape and approximately the same size as the cucumber;
7. Drain the brine from the sweet peas;
8. We cut the crab as follows: open the shell with a knife, take out the meat, separating the gills and mucus from it. Claws are also cut and removed tender fillet. Then we crush it;
9. We collect the salad with crabs: Since we have a puff recipe, we collect it in the following sequence, spreading mayonnaise between each row: cheese, sweet peas, cucumber and tomato. The top "floor" will be crab shavings, it is not necessary to coat it.

• If the recipe includes live crab, then you should choose the most active individuals;
• Live crab should be stored in the refrigerator - in a vegetable box, boiled carcasses are stored chilled for no more than 3 days, and frozen meat - exactly a year;
• To get rid of marine debris, after boiling, tear off the tail of the crab and “chat” it in boiling water, all the “hay” will fly out, and the meat can be eaten;
• Do not complain if the crab shell is too hard and difficult to cut - the harder it is, the younger the individual and the more tender the meat.

And the taste will not let you down and will delight guests. And if you change the recipe, add new products ... Here is a new dish on the table.

Does anyone know who is the author of all? No one will say this anywhere. But the period of the USSR is considered his birthday. Since then, interest in the main character of many dishes has only increased. After all, the number of recipes is only increasing. And every woman can boast of her own. Suffice it to say about its classic version - with corn and cucumber.

You should know it:

• Do you know that it is categorized healthy meals? How is it, you will be indignant, they say, what is useful in a synthetic product. But! There is no particular reason to panic. We are dealing with concentrated fish protein. The main ingredient of our hero is surimi. And they make it from fillets of famous sea fish. These are hake, pollock, sardine, horse mackerel, and also squid.
• The finished product has everything that is available in the representative of the sea and vitamins and microelements. Therefore, by preparing such a dish, you guarantee yourself a well-balanced meal. Experts recommend that we include crab salad in our diet. But not every day. After all, the composition of crab sticks still sins with dyes, preservatives, stabilizers, food additives. And certainly refrain from treating children with such a salad in large quantities.
• When choosing crab sticks, be extremely careful and try to purchase only a quality product. Refrain from buying if there is ice inside the package, and the sticks themselves have yellow or gray spots. Don't forget to pay attention to the expiration date.

So let's cook a classic version of crab salad with corn and cucumbers.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 100 g crab sticks
• Fresh cucumber
• Half a can of canned corn
• 50 g onion
• Greens to taste (optional)
• mayonnaise to taste
• Salt (optional, to taste)

Cooking crab salad with corn and cucumbers - a classic recipe

Of course, first we will send eggs to boil (if you do not have ready-made ones in stock).

ADVICE: Better eggs put in cold water. Otherwise, the shell of an egg taken out of the refrigerator will crack, and the contents will not cook the way we need.

When the eggs are ready, drain the water and pour cold water into a saucepan. Ideally, put them in the refrigerator for a while, after wiping them from moisture. Actually, every woman has her secrets. I talked about mine. So, we will clean the hard-cooled eggs from the shell, and then grate them. But you can cut with a knife.

Step 1. Grate peeled eggs

With corn, you also have to tinker a little. After all, you need to remove the grains from the jar and let the liquid drain from them. If this is not done, we will not get a salad, but some kind of stew of unknown origin. In other words, let's do these things.

Step 2. Corn is cooked

We got to the crab sticks. I had the freshest. It was visible in appearance and heard in a pleasant aroma. So, they must be cleaned from the packaging and also grated or finely chopped. If you want them to be more visible, cut into thin slices, as I did.

Step 3. Grind crab sticks

The next character is a fresh cucumber. I wish it was actually fresh. And not lying! I try not to peel these cucumbers. Firstly, it is fiber, which we lack. Second, bright green color decorate the salad. Well, the shape of the pieces will hold. Without the skin, they will quickly wilt and get lost in the salad.

Step 4. Cut the cucumber into thin strips

If you have green onions, great. Chop it up a little. I didn’t have it, but I wanted a green one and this ingredient is supposed to be in the recipe, so I chopped up the usual one. It is advisable to chop smaller and thinner. And if it is cool, pour boiling water over it.

Step 5. Cut the onion thinly

I found both dill and parsley. I decided to cut a little bit of everything. Preferably as small as possible - for the benefit. After all, the main characters must be visible!

Step 6. Chop the greens very finely

And just now we put all the products (except greens) in a bowl without stirring. After all, if we had mixed it earlier, it would also have turned out to be gruel.

Step 7. All products in a bowl

Have you made mayonnaise? Or do you have sour cream? And that option is good, and the other. The second, of course, is preferable in terms of benefits, and the second in terms of taste. I had fresh mayonnaise.

Do you like your salad to be spicy? Salt lightly if needed. But I didn't. After all, mayonnaise itself is spicy. And then mix very gently all the ingredients with mayonnaise. And put in this pleasant mass of greens.

Step 9. Mix Everything and Add Greens

Then mix the ingredients even more carefully. Arrange beautifully on plates. And we serve!

Step 10. We decorate the dish and serve it on the table

Choosing the right crab sticks for salad

What are the best sticks to choose for salad:

• First, juicy.
• Secondly, tight.
• Thirdly, which are painted on the outside.
• Fourth, chilled (but not frozen).

BTW: Crab sticks are a product that does not require processing. Because we buy them ready to eat!

But before considering these factors, read the list of ingredients. Minced fish comes first, surimi? Flavor enhancers and starch listed last? Does the packaging look good? Then look at the expiration date. In general, it is better to purchase sticks only from trusted and well-known manufacturers.

It is best to buy chilled crab sticks, the frozen product does not have such good palatability.

Remember what if you purchased good quality sticks, they do not stick to the wrapper, but unfold beautifully and without difficulty.

The salad looks beautiful if served in a common salad bowl. It looks no less beautiful separately on a plate or in a bowl. If there are lettuce leaves, it will be even more beautiful and appetizing. Lay dill, lemon slices, tomato rosettes, etc. nearby.

No crab sticks? Take fish (boiled or fried), shrimp, squid, etc. Ideally, of course, natural crab meat.

Crab meat - to buy or not? You can meet him in the store. But do not get caught by this clever move of marketers! Its composition is the same as that of crab sticks. Unless its packaging distinguishes it - you do not have to pick out the meat from the wrappers, as happens with crab sticks. You just remove one package and you're done. The only thing left to do is cutting.

ATTENTION: If you have a frozen product, it is better not to use it for making a salad. Frozen crab sticks during the freezing process have already said goodbye to large quantity moisture, and therefore they are dry and fibrous. And sellers, freezing them, can hide expired goods in this way. In a word, it is both tasteless and not very useful.

Salad options with crab sticks

Initially, the set of products for crab salad remained standard for a long time. Well, and then, when they saw through it and, for lack of some of the ingredients, they put what they had, and these variations appeared. There are enough of them. Let's name the most popular.

So, in crab salad get:

• fresh cabbage
• A pineapple
• lettuce leaf
• Tomato
• Mushrooms
• Beans
• Apples
• Potato
• Bell pepper
• boiled meat
• Apples
• Spices etc.

Here are some popular salad recipes.

With squid and shrimp

For ten minutes, the peeled squid carcass is boiled. Then we clean it from the film and cut into rings. Squeeze the juice of a lemon cut in half on them. 10-15 shrimp are boiled for 2-3 minutes. Let's send them to a bowl with squid. Then finely chop 100 g of crab sticks, a little pickled cucumber and onion. Let's mix everything. Add corn and mayonnaise to taste.

Reviews on the topic salad with crab sticks

Inga,
I myself really love salads with crab sticks and I want to tell you how you need to choose these same crab sticks to make the salad delicious. I work in a grocery store, so I have experience. Most importantly, look at the composition, minced fish should be in the first place (it is also called surimi). If not, immediately put the packaging back. Secondly, if the crab sticks have been frozen several times (and we have it all the time), they will taste like rubber in the salad. Therefore, remember the packaging a little - the sticks should not break and crumble, one, not be heavily wrinkled or too brightly colored, two, and there should not be ice inside, three. At the same time, they should lie in refrigerators, because this is a deep-frozen product, at minus 18, therefore, if the packaging is wet, melted, also back. Well, also remember or write down - additives E160, E171, E450, E420 are prohibited in Europe, so see what kind of crab sticks you will use for your salad.

Maria, review on salads with crab sticks
I would advise everyone to try adding a little, a couple of drops, balsamic vinegar and mustard oil to the crab stick salad, all of which are now sold in stores. This will give salads with crab sticks a different flavor, more spiciness, because crab sticks often look fresh, and adding a lot of salt, I think, is harmful to beauty and health.

Jeanne, review on salads with crab sticks
I read a previous review that a salad with crab sticks often tastes bland, I agree with this, but there is a simpler dressing - lemon juice, there are lemons in almost every home. I advise everyone to try it, delicious.

Dinara, review on salad with crab sticks
Despite the fact that crab sticks are not very popular in our area, my family and guests really like my crab stick salad recipe. I turn crab sticks into a meat grinder to make minced meat, pour a glass of clean water and leave for 5 minutes, after which I squeeze the minced meat through gauze. I grate an apple, bell pepper, cucumber, cut a bunch of green onions and mix everything, a little vegetable oil and a few drops of lemon juice. It turns out a light and tasty salad with the participation of crab sticks, but without their obvious fishy taste.
