- In a small pan heat the vinegar and sugar until it reaches boiling point. Toss the red onion and fennel to lightly pickle, leave in a bowl to cool to room temperature and then mix in the spring onion, coriander, and salad leaves. Season with a pinch of saffron salt and finish with lemon zest.
- For the crab, mix whisk the brown meat, mayo, mango chutney, cinnamon, and chilli. Then fold in the white crab meat and fruit — season to taste with saffron salt.
