Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 vine-ripened tomatoes (about 8 ounces each for a total of 4 pounds)
3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces peekytoe crab (or other top quality crabmeat such as jumbo lump from Maryland)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup bread crumbs (may also use panko, the dry Japanese bread crumbs)
8 basil leaves, plus 4 basil tops for garnish
1 ripe avocado

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the tomatoes and pass through a food mill into a 4-quart stainless steel mixing bowl. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and the garlic, and then whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • Add the crab, mayonnaise, chives and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl and mixing gently, combine well. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and blend in 1 tablespoon olive oil until just combined. Form the crab mixture into 4 round patties, approximately 1 1/2 inches high by 1 1/4 inches wide. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 10 inch non-stick saute pan, and place over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, coat the top and bottom of each crabcake with bread crumbs, transfer to the hot pan, and saute until golden brown. Turn and repeat until crabcake is browned on both sides (note: crabcakes are very delicate, so please be gentle when handling them). To serve, stack the basil leaves and slice thinly. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and using a spoon, invert the half and insert the spoon between the flesh and the skin gently. Jimmy the spoon gently, working deeper and deeper until the flesh is free from the skin. Dice avocado into medium cubes. Ladle the soup into 4 chilled serving bowls and add one quarter of the avocado to each. Place 1 crabcake in the center of the bowl and sprinkle with chiffonade of basil. Garnish each crabcake with a basil top, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly: Use a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes into even, 1/2-inch thick slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of crab meat: You can use fresh, frozen, or canned crab meat for this recipe. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Season the crab meat: Before adding the crab meat to the tomato slices, season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the crab.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Be gentle when mixing the crab meat, mayonnaise, and celery together. Over-mixing can cause the crab meat to become tough.
  • Chill the crab-topped tomato slices before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and the crab meat to firm up.

Conclusion:

Crab-topped tomato slices are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab-topped tomato slices a try.
