I am afraid that, thanks to our ingenuity, we are going to return to strain fish for our children at the next dinner. We all know the surimi, or crab sticks, two names as exotic as they are misleading, since they are actually a protein extract from fish meat which is used as raw material to make different products. In other words, it has nothing of crab, and fish ... apparently, neither!

The truth is that these crab sticks are often loved by children, and that is what we have to exploit to the fullest. Therefore, thanks to this simple and cheap recipe, we will get our children to eat fish without realizing it, and on top of that, garlic will provide them with many other benefits.

Ingredients

14 crab sticks
2 cloves of garlic
Buy
Sal Island

Preparation

First we will let the surimi thaw in the lower part of the fridge, and then we will proceed to "fray" the bars with patience to get fine strands. When we have it ready, we will brown the garlic in a little olive oil in a clay pot.
It is important not to chop the garlic, but to cut it into slices so that it is easy to remove, because many children, although they like the flavor that it gives to their dishes, cannot even consider eating a single piece. When the garlic browns a little (be careful not to burn it), add the surimi strands, the salt and saute it for a few minutes.
If you see that it sticks a little to the bottom of the casserole, don't worry, when it stays toasted it is, if possible, more delicious.
This dish must be served hot, and its thing is to do it in the clay pot when it is for adults, but to prevent children from burning we will serve it on a plate previously heated in the microwave.
