- 1 x Egg
- 1 c. Bread crumbs

- 2 c. Extra virgin olive oil Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste Emeril"s Essence see * Note
- 1/4 c. Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 3 Tbsp. Shaved chives
Directions
- For purging the eggplant: Cut off the spiky top and peel the eggplant. Cut lengthwise into slices about 3/8-inch thick. Spread the pcs of eggplant in a colander and sprinkle proportionately with salt. This will draw out the juices and help hard up the texture of the eggplant. Allow to stand for 30 min. Pat dry to remove any excess salt.
- For the sauce: In a food processor, combine the garlic and cilantro and pulse to a smooth consistency. Add in the lemon juice and mustard. In a steady stream, pour in the extra virgin olive oil till the sauce is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the eggplant: Cut the slices in half and into 1-inch thick sticks. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together and season with salt and pepper Pour sufficient oil into a frying pan to come 1 1/2 inches up the sides and turn the heat on. Dip each stick into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Turn the eggplant into the bread crumb mix, coating both sides. Add in as many of the sticks into the pan as will fit loosely without overcrowding. Fry on one side till golden brown-brown. Turn the sticks over and continue frying till done. Remove from the fryer with a slotted spoon and dry on a paper lined platter. Season with Emeril"s Essence.
- Place the sauce in a small bowl in the center of a platter with the sticks surrounding it and sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese and shaved chives.
- This recipe yields 2 servings.
