Individual crab platters

These beautiful platefuls look and feel light, but are also surprisingly filling, and apart from a bit of chopping, they take almost no effort to make.

Ingredients

For the radishes and samphire

  • 200g pack radishes, finely sliced (with a mandoline is best)
  • 90g pack samphire
  • 1 lemon, juice
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

For the dressing

  • ½ x 284ml tub buttermilk
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • ½ tsp caster sugar
  • ½ small clove garlic, grated
  • 20g pack dill, leaves finely chopped
  • 20g pack chives, finely chopped

For the crab

  • 4 x 120g packs Seafood & Eat It Dressed Crab
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 4 small salad onions, finely sliced
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest

To serve

  • 750g pack Baby New Potatoes, larger ones halved or quartered
  • 1 bulb fennel, finely sliced (with a mandoline is best)
  • 1 head red chicory, leaves separated

Method

  1. Put the radishes, samphire, lemon juice, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl, toss to coat and set aside for 30 minutes to lightly pickle.

  2. Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and allow to steam and cool slightly in the colander.

  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing together, the buttermilk, lemon juice, sugar, garlic and half the herbs, then season well. Put the remaining herbs into a separate bowl and add the crab meat (keep the shells), chilli, salad onions and lemon zest. Season and mix well, then spoon back into the crab shells.

  4. Once the samphire and radishes have pickled for 30 minutes and the potatoes are a little cooler, arrange everything, including the fennel and chicory, on plates around the crab shells. Drizzle the vegetables with the dressing or serve on the side.
