Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab

    In a separate bowl, gently mix the lump crab meat with chopped fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pistachios

    Roughly chop the pistachios and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, spread the avocado mixture as a base. Top it with the lump crab mixture, then add dollops of stracciatella cheese on top. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over everything for crunch.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with additional herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
