Ingredients
Method
For the tacos
Whisk the yolk and whole egg together briefly then whisk into the flour and salt adding the melted butter last.
Spread the mixture thinly onto a baking mat or baking parchment, scatter with both types of sesame seed and a little Maldon salt.
Bake at 175°C until golden and crisp; about 8 minutes, then cool and store in an airtight container until needed.
For the red pepper
Heat the grill to maximum and brush the pepper with a little olive oil. Grill the pepper on each side until the skin blisters and scorches a little. When the pepper is cool enough to handle scrape away the blistered skin, remove the stem and seed and cut the pepper flesh into pieces about 1 cm square. Season the pepper squares with salt and a little olive oil and reserve.
For the crab mix
Check the crab for any shell or cartilage then combine with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and enough mayonnaise to bind the crab together.
Transfer to a piping bag fitted with 1 ½ cm nozzle. Keep in the fridge until needed.
To finish and serve
Place a rectangle of smoked salmon on each of 4 cold plates. Pipe a line of crab mix along the centre then place 4 pieces of pepper along the top with a little caviar.
Break the taco into shards and press into crab mixture, finish with the salad shoots and herbs.
