Directions |
1. For the Crab Salad: begin by separating the
white and dark meat from the crabs, and put in
separate bowls.
2. Peel and chop the avocado into a bowl. Add the
lime juice, the chopped chilli and coriander, season
and mix well. Stir in the olive oil, cover tightly
with clingfilm and set aside.
3. Coarsely grate the celeriac into another bowl
to make a remoulade. Stir in the mustard and mayonnaise,
and season. If the mixture is too stiff add a little
olive oil.
4. Next, season the dark crab meat with a little
lemon juice, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, salt
and pepper, tasting as you do so. Season the white
crab meat with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper
and a drop of olive oil to bind it together.
5. Place a 7.5cm round pastry cutter in the center
of a serving plate. Spoon a sixth of the dark crab
meat into the pastry cutter pressing down with
the back of the spoon. On the top of this spoon
in a sixth of the avocado mixture, followed by
a sixth of the celeriac mixture. Top it off with
aa sixth of the white crab meat. Press each layer
down firmly in turn. Carefully lift off the pastry
cutter to reveal the layered crab salad.
6. For the samphire: bring a large pan of water
to a boil. Add a good pinch of sugar and plunge
in the samphire. Boil for 2 minutes, before draining.
Refresh under cold running water.
7. Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat with the
butter and a good grinding of black pepper. Drizzle
a little balsamic vinegar over the samphire and
serve with the crab salad.
