Make the panache the day before serving. Mix the pepper, jicama,
onions, and chili in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the limes and
orange and pour over the vegetables. Toss with a little salt and
allow to marinate overnight, stirring occasionally. To make the crab
balls, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Toss with your
hands, breaking up the pasta slightly and making sure the ingredients
are well mixed. Form into 35 balls about the size of a walnut and fry
in 350F fat until golden brown.
Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and
keep warm in a 150F oven while completing the frying process. To
serve, place 4 to 6 crab balls on each plate with some of the panache
next to them. Garnish with 2 avocado slices and a few sprigs of
cilantro. Note: The crab mixture can be made the day before serving
and kept refrigerated, tightly covered with plastic wrap. If the
balls are fried in advance, or if there are leftovers, reheat them in
a 400F oven for a few minutes to crisp.

Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with splenda. Recipes that call for sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar substitute like splenda. It has a different density so you will need to expirement with it and it might not be perfect for every dish, but it does a decent job most of the time.
* Use reduced carb chocolate for chocolate cookies and muffins. If you have taken the time to convert your tasty chocolate cookie or muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't mix in those high carb sugar-rich chocolate. Chop up a reduced carbohydrate chocolate bar into tiny pieces and use that as an alternative.
