Portland crab rosti with land cress and chives
Item 1 of 1
Mark Hix's crab with potato rosti recipe is full of flavour but simple to put together. Hix is a fan of this dish, and serves it during the summer months: 'As part of my food festival Food Rocks every year in Lyme Regis, I incorporate a dinner to celebrate crab, and educate people into the different varieties of crab and how to enjoy them more on a regular basis. Here’s a dish I demonstrated down on the Cobb a couple of years back, and features on my menus a lot during the summer months.'
