Crab And Avocado Galette, Bar Des Prés
If you think you’re over avocado, you clearly haven’t booked into the chic Bar des Prés on Mayfair’s Albemarle Street. There, chef Cyril Lignac serves up indulgent dishes that aren’t so heavy they’ll stop you doing any work after lunch. The crab and avocado galette has quickly become a signature, an inventive twist on avotoast: overlaid slices of ripe fruit sitting on gently curried crab meat and a thin wafer. There’s more to it than healthy fats, too: avo is rich in vit K and potassium. ‘It’s our most popular dish,’ says Lignac. ‘It’s skilful and timeconsuming work to create the symmetrical waves, but the final dish is a work of art.’
