"Raffaello" from crab sticks: preparation of the main ingredients

To prepare a tender and fragrant snack, take two small chicken eggs, boil them hard-boiled, place them in cold water for ten minutes, and then peel and grate them on a fine grater. After that, you should start processing the rest of the products.

Fresh greens need to be washed well and finely chopped with a knife. Furtherit is necessary to grate two processed cheeses on a grater, and then process two cloves of garlic in the same way.

"Raffaello" from crab sticks: the formation of snacks

Before forming such an unusual snack, you should wait until the crab sticks are completely thawed (if they were frozen). After that, the product must be grated on the smallest grater and put on a flat plate.

Next, you need to combine the processed chicken egg, melted cheese, garlic and herbs in one bowl. The ingredients should be mixed by adding three tablespoons of mayonnaise to them. Then, from the resulting mass, you need to carefully roll the balls and completely roll them in crab crumbs.

It is worth noting that if the egg mass turned out to be too liquid, and it is problematic to form Raffaello from it, grated cheese should be added to the mixture.

After all the garlic balls are ready, they should be stuffed with pieces of roasted walnut. It is recommended to do this before rolling in crab crumbs, since after the filling is introduced, the dish may change slightly.
