Prepare delicious and festive bites by combining the delicate Petrossian Royal Crab, the zesty aroma of lime, fresh herbs, and a touch of Espelette pepper inside a tasty sandwich bread.
Preparation: 30 minutes • Cooking: 5 minutes
Ingredients for 16 bites
- 1 square sandwich loaf from your baker (unsliced)
- 1 pack of Petrossian Royal Crab meat
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 organic lime
- 6 sprigs of dill
- 6 sprigs of chives
- 1 pinch of Espelette pepper
- Butter
Method
- Drain the crab meat. Remove the dill sprigs and finely chop them along with the chives. Zest the lime and mix it with the mayonnaise.
- Mix the crumbled crab meat with the herbs, lime mayonnaise, and a pinch of Espelette pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
- Cut the sandwich loaf into three lengthwise, then cut each piece in half lengthwise to obtain 6 rectangles. Cut each rectangle in three widthwise to get 18 small bread blocks. Remove the crust and slice each block halfway through without cutting completely.
- Melt a generous amount of butter in a pan and toast the bread pieces on the two largest sides until golden brown, adding more butter if needed.
- Fill with the crab mayonnaise and serve immediately (you can offer lime wedges to squeeze over the crab before tasting).
