Metro Bis Crab Cocktail

• 1/2 pound Maryland lump crabmeat
• For the vinaigrette:
• 1 cup tomato juice
• 1/2 cup horseradish
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 dashes Tabasco sauce
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• For the pickled onions:
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• pinch of sugar
• pinch of kosher salt
• Optional garnishes:
• 1/4 cup vodka
• Katifi (shredded filo dough found frozen in Middle Eastern markets, baked and crumbled on top)

1. Mix all of the vinaigrette ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. This can also be done in a martini shaker and poured from it if you are looking to impress your friends. Slice the onion and put it in a shallow dish or bowl. Top with vinegar, salt and sugar and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. To assemble, divide the crab evenly in 6 martini galsses. Place several pickled onion slices on top of the crab meat. Pour 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the top of each glass of crabmeat and garnish each with a tablespon or more of good-quality vodka.
3. Top with 2 tablespoons of katafi.
4. Leftover vinaigrette and pickled onions can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
