Method

Step 1 of 4

Make the relish by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl with a little salt and pepper.

Step 2 of 4

Twist and remove the 2 large claws and spider-like legs from the crab and set aside. With the crab upside down, pull away the ball-like, spongy lungs. Check that the small sac and any green matter have been removed, then scoop the brown meat and skin from under the shell on to a plate. Break up the crabmeat with a spoon.

Step 3 of 4

Put the crab claws into a plastic bag and hit once or twice with a rolling pin to break the shells. Then, working on one claw at a time, peel away the shell, removing the white flesh with a small knife and a skewer. Add to the brown crabmeat.

Step 4 of 4

When ready to serve, spoon the crab into the lettuce leaves and top with spoonfuls of the cucumber relish. Roll up and eat with your fingers.
