Hubby chanced upon this pure crab meat (that means no more shell) on sale at the super-mart for Php 400/kilo ($9). He’s been looking for them at the wet market, but all they have are those still in the shell. It’s a tedious preparation to separate the meat from the shell, so he grabbed this chance. He loves this recipe and whenever we eat out, this is always on the order list. He only bought 1/4 kilo and add some veggies as extenders.

• 1/4 crab meat (cooked)
• 1 med-size onion chopped
• 1/2 cup cooked green peas
• 1/2 cup chopped carrot
• cooking oil
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• salt and pepper to taste

• Since the crab meat is already cooked, just mix all the ingredients in a bowl including eggs.
• Heat the frying pan and add a little amount of oil
• Get a spoonful of the mixture, put in a fry pan and flatten.
• Fry and brown on each sides
• Serve with steamed rice
• You can use catchup or vinegar with minced garlic as dip (optional). I like it better with no dip sauce, so I can taste its full flavor. It has a natural sweet taste.

Serves 4-6

Variation:  You can place the mixture inside the top shell and fry if you like good presentation like this.
