Russian Imitation Crab Meat With Cheese Appetizer

Photo Crab Meat Imitation Appetizer with Cheese and Garlic 1

This is an old imitation crab meat recipe I brought from Russia a long time ago. I tried this appetizer at my friend’s house. Some people can be so creative. I never thought the crab imitation stick can be unrolled. My friend told me to put in boil water for a few second crab sticks, to make unrolling easy. I tried one time and really feel it not necessary at all. However, I am going to mention if you have difficulties to unroll it She served it without cucumber. I like her recipe and make it sometimes for family and friends, just add for freshness cucumber. It is a simple recipe and quick to prepare. This recipe handy when I ask myself what can I do with imitation crab meat. So easy to make! We can serve appetizer as crab imitation rolls and can stuff cucumber with rolls. Check on the bottom of the page how to make a garnish for the dish idea.

The best decor for this dish, in my opinion, garnished with lemon or cucumber. I make the flower from cucumber and add a border of lemon wedges around the dish. Of course, greens really great addition too. You can find much more on my website options for cucumber and lemon garnish ideas.
