WHITE CRAB, CHILLI OIL, AVOCADO, RED ONION, LIME, CHIVES

Unless you’re unfamiliar with preparing and cooking a live crab, the best thing to do is buy picked white crab meat from your local fishmonger. This will save you a lot of time and work when making this dish. You can pair this salad with some toasted sourdough, or better yet see if you can get your hands on some Sardinian flatbread (known as pane carasau) from an Italian deli. Or skip the bread altogether and enjoy with a handful of wild rocket.

- 1 long red chilli, cut lengthways and deseeded

- 100ml/3 1/2fl oz/scant 1/2 cup olive oil

- 2 large ripe avocados

- 1 red onion

- 6 chive stalks, finely chopped

- 500g/1lb 2oz white crab meat

- 1 lime

- salt

Serves 4

Slice the chilli into fine strips, then bunch the strips together and very finely dice.

Warm the olive oil in a pan over a low-medium heat. Add the diced chilli and leave on the heat for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overheat – you don’t want to see the oil bubbling away. Set aside for around 20 minutes or until the olive oil is infused with some of the heat of the chilli.

Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones and scoop out the flesh with a spoon before slicing the flesh into about 5mm/1/4in thick slices.

Chop the red onion finely and put in a bowl together with chives, crabmeat and avocado slices. Finely grate the zest of the lime into the mixture before squeezing in the lime juice. Season with a little salt and mix everything together.

Serve the salad with a drizzle of the chilli oil on top.
