Snapper Wings, Warrigal Greens, Native Lime

Alastair McLeod

Ingredients:

  • 1kg large snapper wings
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • Sunflower oil for frying + additional for warrigal greens
  • 80g butter
  • 50g Bauple nuts, cracked
  • 6 finger lime
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 large handfuls warrigal greens + other coastal flora
  • Sea salt and freshly milled pepper

Method:

  1. Clean and scale snapper wings then pat dry with a paper towel. Cover with flour and shake off excess.
  2. Heat oil in a large wok to 180C. Carefully place wings in oil and fry until crisp and golden then transfer to a cake rack set over a baking tray and season with salt.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat a heavy based fry pan over medium heat, add butter and Macadamia and increase the heat. Once the butter starts to foam and turn brown remove from the heat, add finger lime, lime juice and parsley and stir to combine.
  4. Season to taste.
  5. To steam warrigal greens, drizzle a little oil in a preheated pan, add greens, a splash of water and cover with a lid until just wilted.
  6. Arrange greens and wings on a plate and spoon over Macadamia butter sauce.
