It's a fresh and easy-to-make recipe that I found a few years ago on the Hervé Cuisine while looking for an original starter with crab and leek. I was not disappointed. The result is superb and the starter is truly delicious. This starter 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 you can revisit for Christmas with lobster or prawns for an even more festive aspect.

Ingredients

• 500 g crab meat (canned or fresh)

• 3 Tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 lemon

• 1 leek white

• 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

• 1 bunch of coriander

Preparation

1. Prepare the crab mixture: drain the canned crab (or chop the fresh crab). Mix it with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the juice of half a lemon, chopped coriander, salt, pepper and Espelette pepper. Book
2. Prepare the leeks and cashew nuts: chop the leek very finely, roughly crush the cashew nuts and add them to the leek. Add 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce, the juice of half a lemon and the sesame seeds. Reserve.
3. Prepare the mango: you can either cut it into small cubes or take balls with a cookie cutter.
4. Assembling the starter: in a kitchen circle or rectangle, place a layer of leek and cashew nut mixture at the bottom, then a layer of crab mixture. Pack it well. Arrange the cubed or balled mangoes on top.

5. Serving: decorate with chopped coriander or chives.

Note

You can add drops of reduced balsamic vinegar as decoration.
