Fried Eggplant and Topping

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip each eggplant slice first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggplant

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make Roasted Tomato Aioli

    In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Plate the fried eggplant rounds and top each with a generous amount of jumbo lump crabmeat. Drizzle with roasted tomato aioli before serving.
