Slippery Bob

"Slippery Bob is a recipe adapted from The English & Australian Cookery Book. We have used the method as detailed in the book. However, the original recipe calls for kangaroo brains and emu fat, so we've recommended some modern-day substitutions. In its original form, this dish is 'bush fare, requiring a good appetite and excellent digestion'." Ross O'Meara, Gourmet Farmer Afloat

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 4 kangaroo brains (see Note)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter or pork fat

Instructions

Mix the flour and water to make a batter. Add the kangaroo brains and seasoning and put to the side to rest.

Heat the butter or pork fat in a medium-size pan over a medium heat. When the fat is starting to crackle, use a dessert spoon to shape the mixture to small-size fritters and place in the pan.

When a nice golden brown colour is achieved (usually after 3 minutes), turn the fritters over to cook the other side for a further 3 minutes.

To test the fritters, lightly press on them and if they are raw, you will feel that they are soft. 

Note

• You could substitude the kangaroo brains for lambs' brains.
