Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200˚C, fan 180˚C. Put the bread on a large baking tray (or two medium-sized ones). Drizzle over 2 tbsp oil, season and bake for 6-8 mins until toasted and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then gently rub each piece with the garlic clove. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, the crabmeat, lime zest and juice, and chilli.
- For the aioli, mix the mustard, lemon juice and garlic into the mayonnaise.
- To serve, lay the toasts out on a platter or serving dish. Divide the avocado slices between them, top with the crab mixture and a small teaspoon of aioli, then sprinkle with the herbs and sliced radishes. Serve immediately.
