Crab Louie recipe
- 500 g (17.6oz) jumbo lump crabmeat
- 125 g (4.4oz) mayonnaise
- 125 g (4.4oz) creme fraiche or sour cream
- 1 tsp ground espelette pepper
- 3 tbsp chives, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp tarragon leaves, sliced thinly
- 4 flat-leaf parsley sprigs, leaves picked and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp chervil, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and grated
- 0.5 lemon, juice only
- 1 shredded cos (romaine) lettuce, to serve
- 8 lemon chunks, to serve
- Lay the crab out on a tray, picking out any shell.
- Add the remaining ingredients, except the lettuce and lemon chunks, and mix together until combined.
- Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve; the salad is best served within a few hours, on a bed of lettuce, with some lemon chunks for squeezing over.
