LUMP CRAB MEAT SALAD CANAPéS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except for the crab meat into a bowl and whisk together. Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper as needed.
• Drain the lump crab meat and add it to the dressing. Fold the dressing into the lump crab meat gently, so you do not break it up too much. Continue to fold until completely combined.
• Slice the cucumber into ovals (on an angle) that are 1/4 inch thick. Cutting them on the angle gives the most surface area to hold the crab salad.
• Top each cucumber slice with scoop of the crab meat salad, then garnish with a tiny sprig of Dill.

• Using your hands, rub off charred skin. Slice pepper in half, and remove seeds and stem. Cut pepper into diamond shapes that are slightly larger than a piece of baguette.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix together butter and two mustards in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous dollop of mustard butter on each slice of bread.
• Place remaining ingredients except marjoram in a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Place a pepper diamond on each piece of bread, and top with a mound of crab salad. Garnish each canape with several marjoram leaves, and serve.
