• In a large skillet, saute shallots 2 tablespoons oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the crab, tomatoes, basil and oregano; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the heat., Brush both sides of each slice of bread with remaining oil. In another large skillet, toast bread for 1-2 minutes on each side. Cut each slice in half; top with crab mixture.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, onion, garlic oil, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.

• For the toasts: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the bread with the oil. Season with salt and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool for 1 minute, and then rub the toasts with the cut side of the garlic.
• For the crab: In a small bowl, gently combine the crab, lemon juice, chives, and salt.

Spoon the mixture onto the toasts, then top each with the leftover radishes, parsley and scatter over the remaining lemon zest.
