Sunday Supper :: Crab, Apple + Avocado Verrine

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 Recipes  

I highly recommend this first course, it’s a light and summery morsel and a great starter for dinner parties. You can serve this at room temp or slightly chilled. Bea explained that Verrines are quite the thing in France – and there are many shops that sell verrine sets. Bea prepared this Crab, apple and avocado verrine with ginger and lime.

Bea did a great demo on crab cleaning

and students jumped right in

pretty right ?

    So lovely! I recently discovered this blog and I’m completely in love.:) The photography is beautiful and the recipes look delicious. May I ask where the pretty glass cups are from? They do such a great job at displaying the colorful beauty of the dish. Thank you!

    yes! would love to know where the cups are from as well. I’ve been searching, can’t find ones shorter than double old fashions. They look incredible.

Crab, apple, and avocado verrines with ginger and lime

For 8 small appetizer verrines (or 4 regular ones)

You need:

1 small red apple, cored and diced finely
1 avocado, diced finely
Lime juice
Sea salt and pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or 1 tablespoon pistachio oil)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or 2 tablespoons olive oil)
1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
1 teaspoon finely chopped coriander
125 g (4 1/2 ounces) fresh crab meat, finely chopped 
1 cup sprouted greens
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, dry toasted

Steps:

Dice the apple and avocado finely (same size) and squeeze a little lime juice on top.
In a small bowl, add sea salt and pepper. Add the ginger and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Add the oils and emulsify with a small whisk. Stir in the fresh herbs; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ¾ of the crab, the apple, and avocado. 
Add ¾ of the dressing and toss gently.
Divide between glasses and top with the rest of the crab meat, sprouted greens, and sesame seeds.
Drizzle with a little more of the dressing, and serve.
