Crab Stuffed Avocados
Ease of Preparation: Moderate
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
1.5 tablespoons Spicy Sambal or favourite hot sauce (23ml)
½ cup mayonnaise (125ml)
3 tablespoons fresh chopped chives (45ml)
2 teaspoons honey (10ml)
1.5 pounds lump crabmeat, picked over for shells (680g)
Salt and pepper to taste
3 ripe avocados
Juice of 2 limes
1 bunch of watercress rinsed and dried, separated onto 6 plates
3 limes halved
Method:
In a medium bowl combine the sambal, mayonnaise, chives, honey and crabmeat. Mix until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper
Halve the avocados and remove the pits (hit the centre of the pit with a large knife and twist the pit ¼ turn and pull out). Using a large spoon, separate the flesh from the skin, keeping the halves as intact as possible.
Lightly brush both sides of the avocado halves with limejuice.
Season the flesh with salt and pepper.
Fill the avocado halves with the crab mixture and place one with each serving of watercress. Squeeze the juice of half of a lime over the greens and avocado before serving.
