5 minutes

This exquisite appetizer reflects the elegance of Mediterranean cuisine, combining the freshness of Belgian endive, the tenderness of crab meat, and the spicy kick of wasabi mayonnaise. The combination of seafood and spices is believed to stem from coastal traditions that value a delicate balance of flavors. Endive leaves serve as natural cups, giving the dish an aesthetic lightness, while cilantro and lime complete it with freshness and citrus tang. An ideal choice for a light dinner or buffet, this appetizer reveals a complex interplay of textures: the crunchiness of endive, the juiciness of crab, and the creamy spiciness of the sauce. Serve chilled to best showcase all notes of aroma.
