Ingredients

300g British asparagus spears
1 tbsp Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil
2 tbsp Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
300g fresh crab meat (half white/half brown meat)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp paprika
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices thick-cut granary bread
85g watercress
Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil to finish

Method

Heat a griddle pan to hot. Lightly brush the asparagus with olive oil and cook on the griddle, turning occasionally, for around 5 minutes or until tender.
Whilst the asparagus is cooking mix the crab meat with the mayonnaise and season to taste.
Moisten the slices of bread with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and arrange the watercress on top of each piece, followed by a pile of the crab mixture lightly dusted with a pinch of paprika.
Top each slice of bread with the asparagus, drizzle with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin and serve immediately.

This Olive Oil is a healthy substitute for other cooking oils. With its high smoke point it is the ideal choice for frying, stir-frying and baking. The light bouquet allows the natural flavour of food to come through.
