CROCODILE DISHES
Crocodile Fillet Steaks cooked with Lime and Lemon Grass
Ingredients
4 Crocodile Fillets
2 Tbsp Lime Juice
2 Spring Onions, chopped
Drop of Olive Oil
25g of Butter
Teaspoon of Lazy Lemongrass or a stem of chopped fresh lemongrass
60ml of Dry White Wine
120ml Fish Stock
60ml Single Cream
Salt and Black Pepper
Method
Season the crocodile fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a large non stick frying pan until very hot, and add the fillets - dry frying each side for about 5 - 10 minutes, then add fish stock and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Sprinkle them with lime juice and set them aside. Heat the butter in another pan, add the spring onions and sauté for 1 - 2 minutes. Add the lemongrass white wine, and boil to reduce by two thirds. Add the cream, stirring gently and reheat just to boiling but not quite!
Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve - creamed potatoes are just lovely with this dish.

Crocodile does lend itself to being marinaded, as it can undoubtedly be a dry meat if not handled carefully. One of our customers has had terrific results on a bar-b-q using just foil, a knob of butter and sprinkled lime juice - the same results can be achieved in the oven, we've tried it!
Here is a simple marinade that works equally well - pour the remaining juices over the crocodile fillet once you've pan fried it for about 6 minutes, and let it simmer for a similar length of time.
Lime or Lemon Juice, from freshly squeezed fruit
Fresh Garlic Clove, pressed
Fresh Ginger, about 1 teaspoon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, two tablespoons
Freshly ground black pepper and Sea Salt
You can add a teaspoon of Lemongrass if desired.
