Fresh Crab Bruschetta

This simple recipe using a fresh whole dressed crab is great for a light summer meal. If you're cooking outdoors, toast your sourdough on the barbecue and then heap the crab mixture on top.

Ingredients

Bread (preferably sourdough)
Olive oil
White crab meat
Brown crab meat
Salt
Pepper
Tomatoes
Basil
Mint
Chilli
Lemon juice

Method

Rub the bread with olive oil and grill until toasted over an open fire or under a grill.

Put the white meat of the crab in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Spread the toasted sourdough with the brown meat from the crab and then heap the white crab mix on top, finishing with the crab claw.
