Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Additional Time 5 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Ingredients
- an iceberg lettuce
- Uc of a cucumber
- 6 radishes
- 1 ripe avocado
- 300 grams cooked crab meat
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 wire puncture
- 1 finely chopped herb, such as fennel, radish
- red pepper or smoked paprika
- Mary Rose
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 lemon, extra for serving
- brandy, (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Taste and season to perfection with sea salt and pepper after adding a big squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of brandy (if using). (For a tip on browning crab meat, see the section below.)
- Remove any tatty outer lettuce leaves with a click, then trim and finely shred. If you have a mandoline, slice the cucumber and radish into super-thin thin circles (use a guard!). Avocado should be halved, peeled, and deveined before being neatly sliced.
- Combine crab and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl.
- To serve, put a small layer of lettuce in the center of each plate, top with a few slices of avocado, and then scatter cucumbers and radishes around the edge, slightly overlapping.
- Distribute the crab among the plates and top with a drizzle of Marie Rose sauce. Sprinkle with cress and minced herbs, then finish with a pinch of cayenne and a wedge of lemon. With butter and lovely brown bread.
Notes
If you're making your own crab, add a little brown flesh to the Marie Rose Sauce to bring out the flavors even more.
