Recommendation!
We recommend to defrost crab phalanges in refrigerator for 4-6 hours. This preserves not only the appearance and structure of the meat, but also useful properties of the crab.

Red King crab with Hollandaise sauce
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
• Red King crab (merus or propodus shell on) – 220 g.
• Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
• Quail eggs – 6 pcs.
• Butter – 120 g.
• Red caviar – 1 tablespoon
• ½ lemon
It is necessary that sauce and poached eggs are ready at the same time.
Cooking the hollandaise sauce: separate the yolk from the protein in chicken eggs. Place the yolks in a bowl and put in a water bath. The pan should be on medium heat so that the water does not boil strongly and the yolks do not curl immediately. Constantly stir the whisk of the yolk and gradually add the butter in small pieces so that it melts evenly and mixes. After a couple of minutes, when the butter is completely melted and mixed with the egg – we should see a soft, airy texture that looks like cream. In the resulting mass, add lemon juice and salt. Mix, and the sauce is ready.
We make a “poached egg” from quail eggs. After boiling water in a pan, reduce the temperature, add a little lemon juice into the water. Then, intensively stirring the water in one direction, we form a funnel into which we break the quail egg and cook for 1-2 minutes. Do not hold long – the white of an egg should completely whiten and cook, but a soft yolk remains inside.
Extract the crab meat from shell. Put the crab meat on a plate, pour with warm hollandaise sauce and spread poached eggs on top, decorate with caviar.
