Crab-Stuffed Avocados

Why not try this healthy snack, ready in just 10 minutes! - by Barbara Northwood

Crab-Stuffed Avocados
Prep: 10 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

Stuffing the cavity of a halved avocado has to be one of the easiest ways to serve it, and this crab filling can be made ahead, then eaten as a snack or starter. For a cheaper
version, mix the same ingredients with some flaked tinned tuna rather than crab.

Ingredients

100g/4oz white crabmeat

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp olive oil

handful basil leaves, shredded with a few of the smaller leaves left whole, to serve

1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped

2 avocados

Method

  1. To make the crab mix, flake the crabmeat into a small bowl and mix in the mustard and oil, then season to taste. Can be made the day ahead. Add the basil and chilli just before serving.

  2. To serve, halve and stone the avocados. Fill each cavity with a quarter of the crab mix, scatter with a few of the smaller basil leaves and eat with teaspoons.
