Secret Ingredients
  • 1 short-tailed shearwater, salt-cured and cut in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon star anise
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour
  • 200 g black cherries, pitted with juice retained
Directions
  1. Rinse muttonbird under cold running water.
  2. Cover muttonbird well with water in a large pot and bring to the boil (uncovered all the time) over the wok burner on your BBQ and simmer for 15 minutes. You can also do this part on a stove top but they do smell terrible while cooking.
  3. Drain water from pot, but this time re-fill with boiling water and repeat process of bringing back to the boil and simmering 20 minutes uncovered once again.
  4. Drain water and pat muttonbird dry with a paper towel.
  5. Lightly sprinkle muttonbird all over with sage, star anise and pepper.
  6. Cook muttonbird over high heat over BBQ grill plates until cripsy, around 5 minutes a side. Start with the fatty / skin side down first.
  7. While cooking blend orange juice and cornflour in a small bowl, followed by addition of cherries.
  8. When muttonbird is turned for the first time add this mixture to a wok and cook over burner at low-medium temperature for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  9. Place muttonbird into wok and coat well with the sauce cooking for a few minutes further over low heat until combined well.
