Directions |
1. Run your fingers through the crab meat to pick
out any remaining bits of shell and cartilage.
Wrap with clingfilm and chill.
2. Put the shallot, sherry, cayenne pepper and
nutmeg in a small saucepan.
3. Season well. Bring to the boil and let it bubble
vigorously for about 2 minutes until the liquid
has reduced to half.
4. Turn the heat to low and gradually whisk in
the butter, a few cubes at a time. Leave it to
simmer very gently for a few minutes, then remove
the pan from the heat and let the flavours infuse
as the butter cools. 4 Pour the butter mixture
into a fine sieve set over a measuring jug and
press down to extract the juice from the shallots.
Discard the solids.
5. Mix the crab meat with the Worcestershire sauce,
lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the
mixture into four individual ramekins, each about
6 cm wide. Place the ramekins on a tray and pour
the butter mixture over the crab meat to cover.
Cover the ramekins with a large piece of clingfilm
and chill for about 2-3 hours until set.
6. Remove the potted crab from the fridge 30 minutes
before serving with buttered brown toasts, lemon
wedges and chopped chive garnish.
