Steps

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180c
  • In a mixing bowl add crab meat, the finely chopped capsicum and shallots, chopped coriander and then mayonnaise to bind it together. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together.
  • Roll the above mixture into patties, the size of a meatball. Place the patties into some flour before dipping in the whisked egg and then coating with breadcrumbs.
  • On a small saucepan fry the patties in a small amount of vegetable oil and over a medium heat then cook them until they are brown on both sides, (being careful to avoid breaking them). Then pop them into the pre-heated oven (180º) for 5 minutes until cooked through.

For the sauce Gribiche

  • Soft boil six eggs (place the eggs in boiling water for six minutes and then place the eggs in ice water to stop them cooking).
  • Add the chopped cornichons and capers. Add garlic and shallots, along with fresh tarragon, chives and parsley.
  • Add a spoonful of Dijon mustard and olive oil then season with salt and pepper. Whisk all the ingredients all together and add vinegar to balance.
  • Serve with side salad
