Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 large eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped dry-cured link chorizo (about 2.2 ounces)
2 tablespoons sofrito*
1/2 pound lump crabmeat
Canola oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water, butter, and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until butter melts and salt dissolves. Add flour and cumin. Stir vigorously 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in eggs 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in chopped chorizo and sofrito. Gently stir in crabmeat.
  • Pour enough oil into heavy large saucepan to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium heat to 375°F. Working in batches, spoon dough carefully into oil by tablespoonfuls, flattening slightly with back of metal spatula. Fry fritters until cooked through and brown on both sides, turning once, and adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes total.
  • Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain; serve.
  • *A Caribbean cooking base usually made of tomato paste, onions, peppers, and spices; it's available at Cuban markets and at goya.com.

I've made these fritters several times now and they're always a hit. I like to add a little bit of chopped onion and green pepper to the batter.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned crab meat, which made them even easier.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these fritters. The chorizo adds a nice smoky flavor that balances out the seafood.

These fritters were absolutely delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. The crab and chorizo combination is perfect, and the fritters are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
