HOW TO PREPARE CROCODILE MEAT

Crocodile meat is tricky to prepare. It’s a meat with a delicate flavour and doesn’t need strong marinades. Just use lime juice and honey and leave it for 6 hours or more for the marinade to sip into the meat.

500 g crocodile meat
4 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
peper to taste
½ a lime / lemon juice

Season the crocodile meat with salt and peper.
Mix the lime juice and honey and pour over it the meat.
Massage this into the meat.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours to allow the flavours to fuse and sip into the meat.
After your marinating time, put the meat in your roasting tray and grill the meat at 160ºC for 45 minutes.
It’s important that you serve the meat straight from the oven whilst it’s still hot. It tastes better that way.
