Ingredients

1 kg crocodile tail fillet (bone out and trimmed)

60g Wattleseed

Outback Salt

1 piece damp paperbark, appropriately thinned

string or cooking twine

80g Riberry Confit

Directions

In a bowl, sprinkle the crocodile with the wattle to evenly coat the meat and lightly season with salt

roll the meat to form a log shape and set in the middle of the paperbark sheet; wrap well and tie securely

place in a microwave dish and cook on high (750W) for 5 minutes; rest for 5 minutes, invert the roll and cook a further 5 minutes on high; alternatively, poach in a steam oven until firm to touch, although this will give a drier result as the juices tend to run with prolonged cooking

chill overnight then remove the bark from the required amount of crocodile (re-wrap and chill the remainder)

machine slice the crocodile to 2mm thickness

Styling**********

Fan out 35 to 40g portions around the plate. Serve with the Riberry Confit garnish.

I love alligator never had croc. But should love this. So what is Wattleseed?

quaziefly 7 months, 3 weeks ago said:
Is paper bark the same as Melaleuca? Wattleseed as in Australian Acacia seed? Riberry Confit as in preserved Luehmannii? What do these flavors come close to compared to what we know? I am most curious.

I can not imagine the flavors. (Wish that I could) I am still keeping this one on my files. I have to give you a "5". You have added a whole new perspective to my thought of cooking. Thank you!

No problem I will pass on some websites to help you and I will add them to the recipe to help others like yourself because most of these ingredients are very native like Riberry is originally an Aboriginal food. But I am glad to be able to open you up to new things.

This recipe was lifted from on e of my sites as I created it years ago needing a was to stretch a little crocodile meat a long way.
Btw, you can get the Wattleseed and Riberry confit you need for this dish from my on-line store at www.cherikoff.net/shop.
