So Fine Seafood

Soba Noodles, Crab and Ratatouille was a flavorful seafood combination.  I made the slow cooker ratatouille earlier in the day.  Then dinner cooking time took less than 30 minutes.  While the noodles cooked in one pan, I sauteed and simmered the crab sauce in another pan.  I microwaved the ratatouille to top the finished seafood platters.

Saute scallions, garlic and pepper in olive oil.

Stir in crabmeat, almonds, lemon and broth.
4 ounce crabmeat
2 tablespoons toasted almonds, ground
2 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
Cook for 8-10 minutes while noodles cook to allow much of the liquid to evaporate.

Garnish with Feta cheese.

On this last weekend in September, our neighboring county (Preston of West Virginia) holds the Buckwheat Festival.  They grow and mill buckwheat into flour.
