This delicious combination of sweet crab and creamy avocado is perfect for a summer picnic or light lunch. Purists may prefer to cook their own crab, but most fishmongers should have ready-cooked fresh crabs and freshly prepared crab meat, which, as long as it has not been frozen, should serve just as well.

Ingredients

  • 700 g white crabmeat
  • 200 g brown crabmeat
  • 3 spring

Method

Mix the crabmeat, spring onions, chilli, lime juice and seasoning in a bowl. Cut the tomatoes in half and place in a bowl with the toasted sesame seeds, seasoning and olive oil.

Divide the crabmeat between the avocados, filling the hollows generously,
