feeling crabby? [Added May, 07, 2008]
so are we. crab season is here, and with this weather, crab mayonnaise makes perfect picnic sandwiches. by far the best recipe i have tasted is gordon ramsay's, so here it is: 300g white crabmeat
1 shallot, peeled and very finely chopped
½ crisp green apple, peeled and finely diced
Small handful of coriander leaves, chopped
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
6-7 tbsp mayonnaise
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Squeeze of lime juice
8 medium slices of brown bread
1 Place the crabmeat in a bowl and pick out any bits of shell. Stir in the shallot, apple and coriander, then add the mustard and enough mayonnaise to bind the mixture together. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice. Chill for 20 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up a little.
2 Spread a thick layer of the crab mixture on to four slices of bread. Sandwich with the remaining pieces of bread. Cut off the crusts and slice each sandwich into three “fingers”. Serve immediately. And when he says immediately, you know he means it. Even better if you make your own mayonnaise.
