Ingredients

  • 225g abalone without shell
  • 150g seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 30ml milk
  • 240ml olive oil for frying
  • 120g ketchup
  • 15g prepared horseradish
  • 5ml lime juice
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps

  1. Slice the abalone into 1/4 inch thick steaks, making sure to trim off any meat that is not white, as this part tends to be very tough. Place the steaks on a cutting board, and pound with a meat tenderizer until pliable.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, and lime juice to make a cocktail sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a large resealable plastic bag. Dip the abalone steaks in egg, then place in the bag with the crumbs and shake to coat.
  4. Fry coated abalone for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place on a platter, and garnish with lime slices and parsley. Serve with the cocktail sauce for dipping.
