http://www.myhealthblog.org/2011/09/06/turtle-soup-stew-recipe-with-coconut-milk/I recently re-connected with my wild turtle hunter contact and bought 3 small green soft shell turtles… all weighing in total 1.25 kilos alive. Had the children play around with them for a day. Did not feed them. That should clear them of poop. Then cooked them for dinner last night.
Recipe for turtle soup, actually turtle stew with coconut milk runs like this:
* Boil a big enough pot of water.
* Insert the turtles in the water alive. Their instinct is to go in their shell.
* After 10-15 minutes stop the fire.
* Disassemble the cooked turtle and remove shell, and any peal-able green skin.
* In a wok or big pan insert your chopped onion, garlic, ginger and freshly squeezed coconut milk / gata (we used 2 coconuts this time). Add pepper to taste.
* Stew for a few minutes until it starts to evaporate out.
* Add some Sprite or 7-Up to adjust taste. (this is not a paleo diet ingredient so you might want to skip this)
* Turn off the heat and serve… probably done in 15 minutes.
I must say this is one of the best tasting turtle stew recipes we’ve done. Turtle meat with zero condiments taste great.
I don’t usually eat cooked meat but I take exception to turtles. I don’t think it’s possible to eat them raw. Or maybe it is and I’m just queasy.
Enjoy!
Lots of people swear via testimonies that they cured their children’s asthma by eating turtles. Last Sunday was no exception. Some neighbor onlookers there showed 3 children who swear their asthmas were cured due to eating these turtles. For these very poor people to be spared hospital expenses for nebulizer services meant a lot.
