Crab & Herb Sandwiches
These make delicious finger food with drinks or a very decadent light lunch.
Makes 12 finger sandwiches
200g cooked Crab meat (see notes)
½ cup whole-egg mayonnaise (see notes)
½ cup chopped mixed herbs (see note)
Salt flakes, to taste
8 slices brown bread, crusts removed
Combine crabmeat, mayonnaise herbs and salt. Spread on 4 slices of bread, top with remaining slices and cut each sandwich into 3 strips.
Notes: Pick meat from 1 x 800g cooked Mud Crab or 2 x 300g cooked Blue Swimmer Crabs, or buy Abacus frozen crabmeat (from Western Australia). Be aware that most other frozen crabmeat is imported and can be quite watery when thawed. If you don’t want to make your own mayonnaise, use one made from whole eggs such as Paul Newman’s Own or Thomy. Use herbs such as flat-leaf parsley, chervil, French tarragon, dill and coriander.
Alternative Species: Bugs, Marron, Redclaw, Rocklobsters, Spanner Crab, Yabby.
