For the start or close of a millennium (or almost any other significant occasion), this is an opulent but fuss-free combination. Purchase the crabs from a busy fishmonger to ensure absolute freshness. Inexpensive caviar (which is often dyed) can turn the dipping sauce gray; invest a little more if you can. Champagne not too dry is naturally the beverage of choice. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
hot pepper sauce |
2 ounces imported black caviar |
2 cooked whole dungeness crabs, legs and body separated, cracked |
toasted sourdough bread |
Directions:
1. Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with hot pepper sauce. Fold in black caviar. Divide sauce between 2 ramekins. Serve crabs with dipping sauce and toast.
