You Will Need
-
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 175°C/Gas 4 and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
-
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, herbs, a good pinch of salt and a grind of pepper using a fork.
-
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter, then gradually beat in the beaten egg and then the crabmeat.
-
Step 4
Stir in the flour mixture then use floured hands to bring the dough together into a ball and divide into two. Roll each ball into a flattened log, about 4cm wide and 2cm high.
-
Step 5
Place the logs onto the lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until just cooked through and firm.
-
Step 6
Remove the logs from the oven and when they are cool enough to handle, take a serrated knife and gently (as the biscotti is quite crumbly) slice, at a slightly diagonal angle, into 1cm thick ‘rounds’. Pop the biscotti ‘rounds’ back onto the lined baking sheet and bake for a further 15–20 minutes, until golden.
-
Step 7
Meanwhile make the zaboca: mix together the avocado, olive oil, garlic and chilli, adding lime juice and seasoning to taste. It should be a little chunky.
-
Step 8
Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. This will keep in an airtight container for a couple days.
-
Step 9
To serve, top the biscotti with the zaboca and eat immediately.
