Crab & Celery Remoulade

Not sure I've seen celeriac and crab before. I've seen a green apple celeriac though. To make this delicate, the celeriac and apple julienne need to be as thin as the crab strands. To provide an added dimension, remember to use lime in the remoulade and lemon to dress the crab.

best quality white crab meat

mild EVOO

lemon juice

sea salt

shallots, minced finely

green apple

celery remoulade

1. dress crab meat with EVOO, lemon juice, salt, pepper and shallots
2. make the green apple celery remoulade with super fine grater (use Japanese mandolin for the apple)
3. the remoulade should include dijon mustard and lemon or lime
4. in a small, chilled, shallow bowl, spoon some celery remoulade; flatten the latter out, and spoon crab on top in about the same quantity
5. thin out a little bit of mayonnaise with lemon or lime juice and drizzle around (but not on top)
