Crab Omelet
frustrated chef | recipes | 09 18th, 2009 |

… is my recent fave from Pinoycook.net. I was looking for barcode scanners one time when I saw the recipe on my feed list. I tried it once and now its a staple in our household. Even the husband who isn’t fond of eggplants and crabs loves it. So it really must be good. You should try it. Making one is effortless, trust me.

Here’s the recipe from the site.

This recipe makes two eggplant omelets.

Ingredients:

300 g. of crab meat
a bunch of onion leaves, cut into half-inch lengths
1 egg
salt
pepper
2 eggplants, cooked (boiled, steamed, broiled or grilled)
cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

Place the crab meat in a bowl. Add the onion leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Add the egg and stir.
Peel the eggplants by pulling off the skins.
Make a shallow vertical slit to open the eggplant then press the flesh lightly with a fork to spread it out to make the base of the torta.
Spoon the prepared filling on the eggplant.
Press down and pat to make the filling compact.
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan (this isn’t deep frying so you don’t really need too much oil) and slide an eggplant into the pan. Cook over medium high heat just until the bottom is firm enough to lift. You can do this by lifting a portion with a spatula. If it feels firm enough, flip over too cook the top side. Repeat for the other eggplant.

Voila, you have a yummy and healthy dinner for two. :D

Tip, as for the crabmeat, I prefer the ones they sell at Savemore over those at Shopwise. Just in case you would want to know :)
