Today we were once again entertaining clients over lunch. A lovely Irish couple who have booked a Yoga week next June.
They had travelled from Near Biarritz so were really hungry. We had aperitifs & nibbles to start as is the French custom. Then a beautifully refreshing starter a Watermelon & crab tian. Followed by pan fried fillets of red mullet sitting on a bed of sautéed leeks, onions & fennel. Followed by Eton mess. Today I am sharing the recipe for the starter we enjoyed.
You ideally need a cook's ring, pack in thinly sliced watermelon 2 layers, then in a bowl mix 2 prepared crabs white & brown, you can substitute fresh for faux crab if you like. Mix in a little mayonnaise enough to bind the crab, add curry paste to taste, a dash of lemon juice. Pack the crab on top of the watermelon. Place in the fridge for a few hours ideal for dinner party all the work is done in advance. When you are ready press down gently & slip the ring off, decorate with cucumber & a prawn. I make some coriander oil & add to some mayonnaise & a pinch of cayenne pepper this wants to be a decorative drizzle on the plate, yummy. I know you will love this dish, all comments really welcome. Love Angel Blogger. Serves 4.
