Ingredients:
3 baby globe artichokes
juice and zest of a lemon
100g white Cornish crab meat
1 tsp garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tsps snipped chives
salt and pepper
1½ tsps good olive oil
100g rocket leaves
Preparation:
- Remove the tough, outer leaves from the artichokes and slice the body of each as thinly as possible.
- A mandolin works well.
- Then squeeze on the juice of the lemon to prevent the slices from discolouring.
- Mix with the crab, garlic, chives, lemon zest, salt and pepper, olive oil and a generous handful of rocket leaves.
- Serve right away.
