Ingredients: 8 oz fresh lump crab meat, picked clean; ½ cup fresh passion fruit pulp (about 4 fruits); 1 tbsp gelatin powder; 3 tbsp cold water; 2 tbsp mascarpone cheese; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 2 large egg yolks (for aioli); 3 cloves roasted black garlic, minced; ¼ cup neutral oil; pinch of sea salt; 2 eggs (for breading); 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs (panko fino preferred); neutral oil for frying; 12 fresh sage leaves; fleur de sel for finishing

An utterly original Brazilian-inspired starter: silken fresh crab bound with a delicate passion-fruit mousse, breaded in panko, and fried until shattering-crisp. Served with a sophisticated black garlic aioli and sage leaves that have been crisped until they shatter on the tongue. A perfect marriage of seafood, tropical fruit, and umami depth.
