1. Cut a very thin slice off the stem, and then cut another slice off the tail end.
2. Scoop out the flesh and the seeds. You should have a rectangle shaped tomato, which form the layers of the "SFogliata".
3. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
4. Layer the tomato and crab mixture using four layers of tomato and three layers of crab.
5. Trim sides using a sharp knife.
6. Arrange the completed "SFogliata" on a chilled plate along with the tomato coulis and serve at once.
