Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Spiced Tomato Relish

  1. 1

    Make the Tomato Relish

    In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparation of Avocado and Toast

  1. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

  2. 4

    Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Toast the Focaccia

    While the relish is resting, preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat.

  4. 6

    Toast the rosemary focaccia slices on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted focaccia.

  2. 8

    Top with jumbo lump crab meat and a spoonful of the spiced tomato relish.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Garnish with Manchego cheese shavings on top and serve with tortilla chips on the side.
