Crab for Friday night
Friday night is made for taking it easy, whether you are settling in for Gullrekka, the Friday evening line-up on Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, curling up on the sofa with a good book or bingeing a series on Netflix.
Every now and then it is nice to take a break from tacos or pizza and enjoy some different flavours. And it does not have to be difficult or time-consuming.
Here we have gathered some good dishes that give the weekend an extra good start.
Crab fritters are almost like nuggets. This is wonderful finger food that can be served with ketchup or other dips, just as you like. Make sure you make enough, because these can disappear fast.
Puffed prawn crackers with crab dip
Swap the crisps for this delicious alternative. Prawn crackers are available in Asian food shops and are easy to deep-fry. Yoghurt and soured cream make up the base of the dip, to which crab meat, lemon, chives and horseradish are added. A tasty, fresh snack.
Devilled eggs with crab and chilli
Eggs may not be what you associate with a cosy Friday night, but these will change your mind about that. With a short preparation time and few ingredients, there is nothing standing in the way of giving this one a go. Chilli and cress make this snack really full of flavour.
Steamed buns with crab and curry mayonnaise
Lovely Asian flavours come together in this fresh dish with crab, curry mayonnaise, lemon and coriander. Steamed buns work as a starter, as dinner and as party food.
Crispy spring rolls with crab, sweet chilli sauce and papaya salad
Here you get a classic made with crab. Spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce take about 45 minutes to prepare, but are absolutely worth the time. To liven up the dish, you can make a fresh papaya salad to go alongside.
