Recipe Summary Traditional Abalone

A delicious breaded and pan fried abalone with home made cocktail sauce.

Ingredients | Traditional Italian Tortellini Recipes

½ pound abalone without shell

1 ½ cups seasoned dry bread crumbs

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons milk

1 cup olive oil for frying

½ cup ketchup

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon lime juice

chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

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.

In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, and lime juice to make a cocktail sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.

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.

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.
