This relaxed take on a classic canapé comes together in just 15 minutes using a handful of ingredients. The aïoli can be made up to a day ahead but assemble the crisps just before serving to keep them perfectly crisp – or go DIY and let your guests dress the crisps themselves. This is a fun, flavour-packed nibble you’ll be making on repeat!

Method

Mix the aïoli ingredients together with the lemon juice, seasoning to taste. Chill for up to a day.
Arrange the crisps on a platter. Spoon a little of the aïoli onto each crisp, followed by a piece of crab meat and a sprig of dill. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately.
