These sophisticated crab and chorizo fritters offer a delightful blend of coastal freshness and smoky mainland spice. By combining succulent lump crabmeat with the robust saltiness of dry-cured chorizo, these morsels create a balanced flavour profile that is both rich and aromatic. The base uses a savoury choux-style pastry, which results in a light, airy texture on the inside while maintaining a crisp, golden exterior after a quick fry in rapeseed oil.

As a high-protein option, these fritters are an excellent choice for a substantial starter or a clever addition to a weekend brunch spread. The inclusion of savoury sofrito provides a deep, Mediterranean-inspired foundation that complements the seafood perfectly. Serve them warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a dollop of cooling soured cream for a truly impressive homemade treat that is sure to please your guests.

Ingredients for Crab and Chorizo Fritters

240ml vatten
120ml (1 stick) butter
1 1/4 teskedar salt
130g vetemjöl

How to make Crab and Chorizo Fritters

Bring 240ml 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 191°C. 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.
