Simple Abalone Stir-Fry

Simple Abalone Stir-Fry

Starter for 2-4

Ingredients

• 200-400g abalone (incl shell)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 100g/4oz sliced mushrooms (preferably a little out of the ordinary)

Method

1. Remove the abalone from its shell by running a thin-bladed knife around the inside of the shell.
2. Clean and trim meat, then cut into slices about 1cm thick.
3. The abalone slices must be tenderised - beat gently with the flat side of a meat tenderiser or rolling pin.
4. Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat, add mushrooms and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add abalone slices, cook for about 30 seconds on each side. Do not overcook or it will become very tough.
6. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad.
