i've always done experimentations on food, and on a whim, i thought of putting up one of my inventions...hahha!

kanimi crab with creamed avocado

1 ripe avocado
5pcs kanimi crab
few pcs creamed crackers
1/2 lemon
1tsp dried rosemary
1tsp dried basil
2tsp dill
a few pinches of ground black pepper
1tbsp creamed cheese
1tsp sugar
1tsp olive oil

to make the avocado paste, it is better to get a ripe avocado which has a soft flesh. first, cut the avocado in half with a sharp knife. remove the seed and scoop the flesh into a bowl. using a fork, mesh it up then add the creamed cheese. quarter the lemon and squeeze the juice into the mixture. mix it well, then add the sugar. this will give a sweet, salty and sour paste that goes really well together. lastly, add 1teaspoon of dill and mix well. once it is done, refrigerate it.

to prapare the kanimi crab, put it in a bowl and squeeze the other quarter of the lemon. add the dried rosemary, dried basil and the remaining teaspoon of dill. they can be found in individual bottles in supermarkets. alternatively, you can buy dried mixed herbs or use fresh herbs. give it a few turns in the bowl, then microwave it on medium for 5min. take it out, remove the juices, then add the olive oil, give it another turn and put it back into the microwave for another 5mins. alternatively, you can mix all the ingredients and put it in a baking tray and use the oven to cook it till it is slightly brown.

to assemble everything, it is up to your imagination. here are the examples of what i've done. instead of using creamed crackers, you can also use the bite-sized ones, especially if this is done for functions or events.
