Crab And Avocado Roulade With Watermelon
- 1 avocado
- 60 grams white crab meat
- 1 finely chopped birds-eye chilli
- 2 teaspoons Greek style yoghurt or mayonnaise
- 1 piece watermelon
- lemon zest and juice
- salad leaves and dill to garnish
- olive oil and sweet chilli sauce to drizzle
- salt to taste
- Cut five or seven stars of watermelon for each plate, using a pastry cutter (odd numbers look better on plates). Set aside to chill.
- Mix the crabmeat, lemon zest, and chopped chilli, with just enough yoghurt or mayo to bind. Season with salt, to taste.
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone and the skin. Cut each half lengthwise into thin slices (approx. 2mm). I use a mandolin.
- Lay the slices from one half, slightly overlapping on a large square of cling-film.
- Place half the crab mixture on the avocado slices. Use the clingfilm to roll it away from you and form a roulade. Keep rolling the roulade away from you, whilst gripping the ends of the clingfilm so that they twist and the roulade becomes firm and encased in the clingfilm.
- Repeat the process with the other avocado half .Chill the roulades (encased in cling-film) until ready to serve
- When ready to serve, unwrap the roulades and then gently press some dill fronds onto their surface. Drizzle lemon juice over.
- Arrange the roulades, salad leaves and fennel fronds on the plates. Drizzle the leaves with olive oil and a little lemon juice.
- Decorate the plate with the watermelon stars and a drizzle of sweet sweet chilli sauce.
