Get ahead
Prepare the crab mayonnaise a couple of hours ahead, cover and chill.
- Heat the grill to high and place the pepper quarters skin side-up under the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the skin blisters and blackens, then put in a bowl and cover. Once cool, peel off the skin and cut the pepper into thick strips; return to the bowl.
- f using the tinned crab, drain well, or if using the potted crab, squeeze out the excess liquid. Mix in another bowl with the juice of 1 lemon, the mayonnaise and most of the cayenne pepper. Season, cover and chill until needed.
- Drain the artichokes and rinse under warm water. Dry on kitchen paper, cut into halves and gently mix with the red peppers and the smaller inner leaves of the romaine lettuce. Rip the larger outer leaves into smaller pieces and add to the bowl, along with the watercress (larger stalks removed).
- Before serving, toss the salad leaves with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and the olive oil. Season and divide between 4 or 6 plates. Spoon on the crab mixture then dust with a little cayenne. Serve immediately.
