Paua Fritters

Best recipes for delicious paua fritters please.

That's it, just need to know what works best, and I should probably add that I have paua mince - not fresh whole paua - if that makes a difference to the recipes on offer.

I put half onion fresh bread and couple rashers bacon thru the mincer with the paua then add egg flour and make a pattie from this mixture I know there is a recipe with cream that is delicious am sure someone will have it enjoy

sampa, here are some paua recipes (not just fritters) from the former Trade Me Cooks:

"Creamed paua
Mince your paua, in a pot cook a finely chopped onion, add the paua, cook for about 5mins, stiring often then add the cream. cook for a further 5mins. to thinken add some cornflour mixed in a bit of cold cream. YUMMO Add salt and pepper after you have cooked the creamed paua. Sometimes doesnt need salt

Paua Fritters
Mince paua, finely chop an onion, grate a carrot, one cup of flour. mix together with salt and pepper, you may have to add a bit of water. the mixture has to be like a thick batter. cook fritters on the bbq or in a pan.

Fettucine
Cream paua can be served with fettucine. Its my favorite.

"Paua chips.
Yummy. As fisher said bash them first. Slice into chip size pieces, flour them, then deep fry for about 3 minutes (till nice and golden). Take out and sprinkle over salt and some lemon juice. Enjoy.

TOP TIP: If the paua are whole then wrap them up and bash them, then place in a saucepan add some onion and cream, leave to simmer. Can do this with minced paua as well.

Minced
My husband minces ours, with bacon, onion and curry powder. then cooks them as patties on bbq or in frypan. Can't help with the cream recipe sorry, but i know the one you mean.

I make a rich mornay sauce then add the minced paua with finely chopped onion parsely garlic and ginger. It is sooo easy and very delicious. The heat from the sauce when it first comes off the stove is enough to cook the paua and you stir in the love carefully. Its made with that.

I think most people muck around with paua too much
I was recently taught a really nice way of cooking it. All you do is slice finely then fry in a hot pan very quickly in a decent amount of butter. You use a fork to turn the paua and when you can push the flat of a tine through the paua stop cooking and serve immediately. Any more will ruin it. Takes a very short time. No bashing it like my parents used to do. posted by toffee" :-))

"Patties
Just the best ! Mince the pauas, along with an onion, then clear the mincer by mincing a crust of bread. Beat a couple of eggs, Add 1/2 cp of flour , salt & pepper heaped tsp BP, Milk to make it like piklet batter, then add paua mixture. Fry in butter, -- good hot or cold or done on the bbq !

Creamed paua
must be the top of the list of our altime favourite foods. You need to mince the paua first then either make a white sauce with chopped onions or use cream, put the paua in at the end so not to overcook it or it will go tough and rubbery.

this is a Chatham Island recipe
Thinly slice paua ACROSS the grain and toss in seasoned flour. Saute bacon and onions in butter then add paua. Serve with good quality parmason cheese and chopped spring onion. Sublime~!
