Recipe from Epicurius. The keys to this fast, simple dish, which was inspired by a crab-stuffed tomato at Yves Camdeborde's Paris brasserie, Le Comptoir du Relais, are ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and excellent crabmeat.
Ingredients:
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons olive oil (mild)
1 lb lump crabmeat, picked over
2 teaspoons tarragon (chopped)
3 tablespoons chives (chopped)
2 large tomatoes, sliced thick (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total)
3 cups romaine lettuce (leaves, baby)
Directions:
1. Blend yolk, vinegar, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream.
2. Toss crabmeat with dressing, tarragon, and chives.
3. Season tomatoes with salt and serve topped with romaine and crab.
4. Serve with: a toasted baguette.
5. Cooks' notes: The egg yolk in this recipe is not cooked.
