Method
- Melt 100g of the butter in a large pan over a low heat. Add the fresh ginger, curry powder, cayenne and lemon zest, then remove from the heat and set aside for a couple of minutes to let the flavours infuse.
- Return the pan to a low heat, add the crabmeat and stir together gently for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, taking care not to breakup any lumps of crabmeat. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into 4 x 100ml jars, pots or ramekins and lightly level the surface, but don’t pack down. Melt the remaining butter and spoon it over, then garnish with a few pink peppercorns. Chill for at least 2 hours to set.
- If the pots have been in the fridge for a few hours, remove 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Serve with fingers of soda bread or sourdough toast.
