29 Sep crab on toast

Posted at 19:47h in lunch, recipes, supper by

Before we get stuck into the deep, earthy flavours of autumn, we’re keeping it light this week with two September ingredients that feel like a last hurrah for the summer. Pick up a pot of fresh Irish crab meat from your fishmongers or good supermarket to create an indulgent toasty snack.

Crab on Toast

406A9772

Serves 2

Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 slices of sourdough (or your favourite toasting bread)

4 heaped tablespoons of mayonnaise

1 orange

200g of crabmeat

1 avocado

Half a lime

Salt

Pepper

Method

  1. Start by toasting your bread.
  1. Meanwhile, grate the zest of half your orange into your mayonnaise. Slice the orange in half and squeeze in 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Mix well.
  1. When your toast is ready, smear a little bit of orange mayonnaise on the toast. Top with the crabmeat.
  1. In a small bowl, mash the avocado flesh with a fork until smooth. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well before adding a spoonful to the crab on toast.
