CRAB AND AVOCADO CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly brush the bread slices with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet fitted with a rack and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before topping with the crab mixture.
• In a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Add the yellow pepper, the avocado, shallot and the crabmeat to the lemon vinaigrette and toss gently, so as to not break up the crabmeat. Top the bread slices with about a tablespoon of the crab mixture and arrange on a serving platter.

PEA AND CRAB CROSTINI

Steps:

• Cook the peas in boiling water for 4 minutes until just tender. Drain, run under cold water to cool, then drain again.
• Slice the baguette into 8, put on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil and toss to coat. Grill for 2 minutes on each side, then set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl mash the cooled peas with the back of a fork, then mix in the white crabmeat, tarragon, zest and juice of the lemon and some black pepper. Add salt, plus more pepper and lemon juice to taste.
• In another bowl mix the brown crabmeat with the crème fraîche. Spread over each toast, then top with the crabmeat mix. Scatter with pea shoots, grated lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil.

CRAB CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the baguette into ¼ - ½ inch slices. Arrange slices on a large rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes. Flip if necessary to allow even coloring. Let cool on baking sheets. Finely chop the scallion and chile (if using), then mix into the crabmeat along with the remaining ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste and scoop a spoonful onto the toast. Chef's notes: For best results, about 3 hours before serving, prepare the crabmeat, adding the chopped scallion, chile, cilantro and oregano only. Cover with plastic wrap and store in your refrigerator. Transport the crab mixture to the host's home and just before serving, stir in the sour cream and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste! To save time, prepare the toasts just before leaving for the host's home. Transport them in tinfoil and assemble the crostini just before serving. Source: Nigella Christmas, Nigella Lawson
