Ingredients
Crab mixture
- 500 g crab meat
- lime juice to taste (about 1 lime)
- 3 red chillis (medium size), deseeded, finely chopped
- 1 bunch coriander, finely chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 avocados, thinly sliced lengthways
- 50 g (roughly) salmon roe
- chives, to garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, combine all the crab mixture ingredients and season to taste. (The mayonnaise is only meant to bring the mixture together, not to add any taste, so don’t use too much.)
Line 8 round ramekins with cling film (this makes it easier to remove from the mould when plating). Line the avocado strips around the ramekin so you form an outer layer and spoon in the crab mix.
Press down and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
Once ready to serve, carefully remove from moulds. Use the cling film to encourage the mixture out (you don’t want to ruin the shape and pattern of the avocado). Place in the middle of a large plate. Top with teaspoon of salmon roe and then two chive sprigs in a cross shape.
