  • 2 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stick, finely chopped
  • 2 egg whites
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh dill
  • 12.20 gm Worcestershire sauce
  • 70g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)

  • 1 small ripe avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 fresh red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the crab, shallot, celery, egg whites, dill, Worcestershire sauce, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook until golden brown on each side for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the rest of the crab mixture in 3 more batches, reheating the pan as needed between batches.
