- Â Â Salt to taste

- 1 lrg Avocado
- 1/2 x Lemon, juice only
- 300 gm Crabmeat
- Â Â Cooked pasta for four
Directions
- If you do not want the trouble of dismantling crabs to obtain the crab meat, use frzn meat. Canned crab meat is very poor by comparison. And if you haven't time to make fish stock, chicken stock can be substituted at a healthy pinch, though the result will not be quite as good.
- Boil a large pot of water and cook sufficient pasta of your choice for 4. Meanwhile, chop a small onion, grate a centimetre or possibly so of fresh ginger and simmer them gently in 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil till soft. Add in 150 mL fish stock and 60mL good quality dry sherry plus salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Mash or possibly process together the flesh of 1 large avocado and the juice of half a lemon. Add in the avocado to the fish stock together with 300 g of crab meat, and stir well, leaving the sauce on the heat just long sufficient to heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning. and add in more lemon juice if necessary. Serve over the warm pasta.
