Roasted Eggplant with Anchovy and Almond Crumble


  • Author: Curtis Gamble

Ingredients

Scale

Eggplant:

  • 4 oz EVOO
  • 2 tbsp miso
  • 4 Japanese eggplants

Sherry Vinaigrette:

  • 2 cups sherry wine
  • 200 g sherry vinegar
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 10 g thyme, chopped
  • 15 g shallot, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 800 g canola oil

Anchovy Almond Crumble:

  • 125 g toasted almonds, chopped
  • 10 g dried anchovies
  • 10 g cress seed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Eggplant:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl combine EVOO and miso to make a bit of a paste. Peel eggplant and roll in mixture as soon as they are peeled to avoid browning.
  2. Transfer them all to a sheet tray and roast until just-roasted and not mush, roughly 45 minutes, but check in 15-minute intervals. Cool completely.

Sherry Vinaigrette:

In a blender combine all ingredients except for oil. Blend and slowly add oil to emulsify.

Anchovy Almond Crumble:

  1. Combine all and add salt and pepper to taste.

To Finish:

  1. Toss eggplant in sherry vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste and place in a serving bowl. Top with crumble and serve.
