Comments: This is a simple recipe. Breaking the crab claws takes a bit of force, using the end of a wooden rolling pin works well. In our podcast the claws were broken with smooth stones.

Serving suggestions: Serve with oatcakes or a piece of bread.

This salad reflects the simplicity of pre-historic cooking. Ingredients are fresh, seasonal and often gathered locally.

You can buy goats cheese, use cream cheese or you could try making your own ( see our simple cheese recipe).

The creamy cheese is delicious with the crab, a suprisingly lovely combination.

1. Layer the watercress in the bottom of a bowl
