Crocodile meat on skewers
4 servings
5 minutes
Crocodile meat skewers are an exotic dish of Australian cuisine, rooted in the traditions of indigenous peoples who valued the tender and nutritious meat of the reptile. Crocodile fillet has a delicate flavor reminiscent of chicken but with marine notes. A marinade of lime, ginger, and chili pepper adds spiciness and a hint of heat to the meat, while sweet chili sauce completes the palette, creating a balance between spice and caramel depth. Grilled over coals, the skewers retain juiciness and develop an appetizing crust. This dish is perfect for gourmets ready for new taste discoveries and will be a true highlight of any picnic or party.
