Ingredients

• Fresh crab meat - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh chives - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, almond flour, egg, parsley, chives, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Form the mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter, and place them on a plate.
3. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the crab patties in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
