Fold in the white crab meat to the mixture. Check seasoning. To make the lobster oil, put the lobster carcass, red pepper, garlic cloves and red chilli into a stainless steel pan, season with salt and pepper and add enough olive oil to cover them. Heat and then leave over gentle heat for two hours. Cool and then strain through a fine sieve. Refrigerate. To make the dressing, combine the cream and chicken stock. Season. Carefully stir in the caviare. Plate up immediately by dividing crab mixture onto two plates. Spoon the caviare dressing around the edge and finish off with a drizzle of the lobster boil. Serve immediately. Henry Harris Photo © Tom Stockhill
