1 garlic bulb, peeled, crushed to a paste
pinch salt
8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice only
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cucumber, peeled and cut lengthways into ribbons using a vegetable peeler
handful salad leaves
½ lemon, juice only
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
pinch salt
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
For the marinated cucumber, place the crushed bulb of garlic onto a baking tray. Sprinkle over the salt and drizzle over one tablespoon of the oil, then transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until softened. When the garlic bulb is cool enough to handle, squeeze out the pulp and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, the lemon juice and two teaspoons of the garlic pulp. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the cucumber ribbons and stir well to coat. Set aside.
For the caper dressing, in a separate bowl, mix together the caper dressing ingredients and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the crab salad, place the crabmeat into a separate bowl. Spoon over five tablespoons of the caper dressing and set aside.
Add the prawn into the remaining caper dressing to marinate for 2-3 minutes.
To serve, dress the salad leaves with the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix well to coat the salad, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the mixture into the crab shell and place the shell into the centre of a serving plate.
Make three quenelles of crabmeat and place them into the crab shell. Pile the marinated cucumber ribbons alongside. Place the marinated king prawn on top of the cucumber.
