Crispy starter with crab, leeks and mangoes

Crunchy starter with crab, leek and mango

This is a fresh and easy recipe that I found a few years ago on Hervé Cuisine while looking for an original appetizer with crab and leek. I wasn't disappointed. The presentation is superb, and the appetizer is truly delicious. This appetizer is naturally gluten-free, so I didn't need to adapt it. If you want to impress your guests, try it as soon as possible! It's even a recipe that can be adapted for Christmas with lobster or prawns for an even more festive touch.

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Total time 20 minutes

Difficulty: Beginner

500g of crab meat (canned or fresh)

2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
1 bunch of coriander
2 tablespoons cashew nuts
Espelette pepper

1
To prepare the crab mixture: drain the canned crab (or chop fresh crab). Mix it with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the juice of half a lemon, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, and Espelette pepper. Set aside

Prepare the leeks and cashews: finely chop the leek, roughly chop the cashews, and add them to the leek. Add 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce, the juice of half a lemon, and the sesame seeds. Set aside.

Preparing the mango: you can either cut it into small cubes, or cut out balls using a cookie cutter.

To assemble the starter: In a round or rectangular baking dish, place a layer of the leek and cashew nut mixture on the bottom, then a layer of the crab mixture. Press down firmly. Arrange the diced or balled mangoes on top.

You can add drops of reduced balsamic vinegar as a decoration.
