  • 1 good pinch of ground cayenne
  • 1 whole nutmeg for grating
  • 225 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)

  • De-seed and finely chop the chili and pick the dill fronds. Mix the crab, lemon zest and juice, mace, cayenne, nutmeg, chopped chili, sea salt, and 125g of butter in a bowl until smooth.
