Title: Monitor Lizard Tail
Categories: Five, Game, Exotics
Yield: 2 servings
1 Monitor lizard tail;
- skinned
1 lg Egg
Breadcrumbs
Olive oil; to fry
The Australian monitor lizard - more commonly called the
goanna - has an important place in Aboriginal culture
and medicine and in Australian folklore. It also,
apparently, makes good eating. The tail is said to be
the best part, and - not surprisingly- is said to taste
like chicken, or like fish, or sweeter and more juicy
than rabbit.
The simplest bush recipe for cooking goanna was to roast
it in the ashes, so that that when the ashes were
brushed off, the skin came with it, and the flesh was
then ready to eat.
Scald and skin the tail of a goanna. Cut into 3" slices.
Dip in egg and bread crumbs, and fry quickly to a golden
brown. Olive oil is the best to fry in, but some do not
like the flavour of olives.
