Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a spectacular Raffaello appetizer from crab sticks and cheese? Very simple and quite fast. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose crab sticks with a whiter, brighter red top, then the appetizer will turn out just as bright and expressive. Processed cheese needs semi-solid “Druzhba” or “Yantar”, which can be grated. You can replace processed cheese with regular hard cheese. Large, selected eggs are needed.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the crab sticks on a fine grater. Set aside a third of the grated crab sticks to decorate the appetizer. To make it easier to grate crab sticks, first place them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
Also place the processed cheese in the freezer for 20 minutes. Then grate on a fine grater.

Step 4

Step 4
Hard boil the eggs, cool and peel. Then grate on a fine grater.

Step 5

Step 5
In a bowl, combine grated crab sticks, cream cheese and eggs. Add the garlic clove passed through a press and mayonnaise.

Step 6

Step 6
Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. If you think the mixture is a bit dry, add a little more mayonnaise. The mass should be dense, not fall apart when forming balls and slightly sticky.

Step 7

Step 7
Using wet hands, form small dense balls the size of a walnut from the resulting mass.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll the resulting balls in the remaining crab stick shavings. The appetizer will immediately take on an elegant, bright look. If you prepare the appetizer in advance, cover it with a bowl to prevent it from getting too dry and put it in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Step 9
Transfer the crab sticks Raffaello to a serving dish and garnish with herbs. I added more pomegranate seeds. And you can serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
