Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh crab meat
- 2 pieces ripe avocado
- 1 piece ripe mango
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the crab meat with mayonnaise, finely chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much. Set aside.
Peel and pit the avocados. Dice the avocado into small cubes and place in another bowl. Squeeze half a lime over the avocado to prevent browning, add a pinch of salt, and toss gently.
Peel the mango and dice it into small cubes, approximately the same size as the avocado. Place in a separate bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.
To assemble the stack, use a 3-inch metal ring mold (or create a mold using a cleaned can with both ends removed). Place the mold on your serving plate.
Spoon a layer of mango into the mold, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Next, add a layer of avocado on top of the mango, again pressing gently to form an even layer.
Finally, layer the seasoned crab meat on top of the avocado, pressing gently to keep the stack stable.
Carefully lift the mold off the stack, ensuring the layers remain intact.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and an additional squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
