Difficulty and servings
Serves 2–3 as a starter, 4–6 as tapas
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 minutes + chilling
- Whisk the egg, sherry, Worcestershire/Tabasco sauce, mustard, mayonnaise and rosemary together in a bowl. Season, then stir in the breadcrumbs, crabmeat and sorrel - the mixture should be claggy but firm enough to hold together. If not, add more crab or breadcrumbs. Using clean, damp hands, shape into golfball-sized rounds, chill for 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours, covered in clingfilm).
- Heat the oil in the deep-fat fryer to 190C, then gently drop in about 4 crab balls and fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. (If you don't have a deep-fat fryer, cook them in a deep pan - the oil is hot enough when a cube of bread turns golden in 20 seconds.) Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm while you fry the rest. If you like, add the parsley to the oil and fry for about 30 seconds. Drain and serve with the fritters.
