Crab And Basil Sandwiches

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Always on the lookout for crab recipes for when we go on holidays. This one is from our local/state paper and I think would be very nice as part of a high tea or to pass around as an appy. Though the recipes specifies white bread I would use wholemeal/wholegrain for dietary reasons but think a mix so you get a ribbon effect would also look good. NOTE in the original instructions they mention celery but listed none so if you like add some finely diced celery with the mayo mix. I would guess about the same amount as you have in shallot. Times are estimated.
