  • Choose ripe and firm tomatoes for the best results.
  • Make sure to remove the seeds from the tomatoes to prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • For a spicier kick, add more horseradish to the sauce.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Storage and Serving

  • This dish is best served immediately after assembly to maintain the texture of the compressed tomatoes.
  • If you have any leftovers, store the crab mixture and horseradish sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • The compressed tomatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but they may lose some of their texture.
