Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Slice the rolls open but don’t cut all the way through. Put on a baking tray and warm in the oven for 5 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the crab, mustard, mayonnaise, Tabasco, lemon zest and most of the chives in a bowl; season.
  3. Divide the lettuce between the rolls and top with the crab mixture. Serve sprinkled with the remaining chives and extra Tabasco, if you like.

Tip: Pack separate containers for the crab mix, shredded lettuce and rolls and assemble at your picnic.
