BARBECUED CROCODILE STEAKS WITH ASIAN FLAVORS (OR ALLIGATOR)

Steps:

• Prepare a fire in a barbecue and let the coals burn down until they are white.
• Meanwhile, cut out six 30-cm (12-in) squares of aluminum foil and spread out on work surface. Place and equal portion of the carrots, leeks, gingerroot and lemongrass in the center of each square. Top with a crocodile steak. Add a slice of lime and pour about 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and ½ teaspoon sesame oil over each parcel. Wrap the foil to seal securely, lace the packets on the barbecue rack and cook for 6 minutes; at this point the crocodile should be tender. Open one package to check that the steak is done.
• Once cooked, slide the steaks out of the foil onto serving plates. Top with coriander, mint and sesame seeds and serve.
