Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread of sourdough
  • tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 180 g samphire
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 crab brown and white meat separated (about 60g of each)
  • 1 tbsp dill chopped; optional
  • 100 g watercress

Instructions

  • Oven temperature set to 220°C/200°F fan/gas 7. The bread should be torn into large pieces and placed in a basin with 12 tbsp rapeseed oil and some spices. Well toss, then pour onto a baking sheet. Until browned, bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Place aside.
  • Samphire should be cooked for three minutes in a large pan of boiling water before being drained and immediately submerged in freezing water. Before draining, let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
  • In a small dish, mix the brown crabmeat, crème fraîche, remaining 1 tbsp rapeseed oil, lemon juice, and, if using, dill to make the dressing. Season, mix to evenly integrate and set aside.
  • Serve on a dish or divide among plates, then garnish with croutons and white crabmeat.
