Ingredients:
canola, vegetable or peanut oil |
2 to 3 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 cup plain white cornmeal |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons creole seasoning (recommended: konriko) |
baby arugula |
jumbo lump crabmeat |
4 tablespoons champagne vinegar |
2 teaspoons ground sumac, plus more for serving |
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat approximately 2-inches oil in large, heavy skillet to 325 degrees F. An electric- fryer can be used.
2. Sprinkle both sides of tomatoes with salt and pepper. Combine the cornmeal, flour and Creole seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal mixture and fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
3. For the vinaigrette:
4. Add the vinegar, sumac, and salt and pepper to a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until combined. Remove and reserve 4 tablespoons. In a large bowl, add enough arugula for 4 servings. Pour the vinaigrette over the arugula and toss. Divide the arugula on serving plates, arrange 2 to 3 fried green tomatoes on the arugula and top with equal amounts of crabmeat. Drizzle reserved vinaigrette over the crabmeat and sprinkle with ground sumac. Serve immediately.
