=======================================
Soft-shell Crabs With Capers and Lemon
8 medium soft-shell crabs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (2 oz) all purpose flour
1/4 cup (2 oz) olive oil
1/4 cup (2 oz) butter 4 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded diced
2 tablespoons (1 oz) drained capers
Juice from one lemon
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Clean and wash soft-shell crabs with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and saut crabs in olive oil until lightly browned, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer crabs as they are browned to a baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees 5 minutes to finish cooking.
Meanwhile, brown the butter in the same skillet. Add tomatoes and capers and cook for 1 minute. Finish sauce with lemon juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange soft-shell crabs on serving plates and spoon sauce over top. If desired, serve with mesclun greens tossed in red wine vinaigrette.
Makes 4 servings.
