INSTRUCTIONS
Saute all ingredients together for approximately 20 minutes in a thick based pot with lid. Add stock and herbs, remove lid and simmer for 4-6 hours (yes that's what is said), making sure to skim off all scum and fat as it simmers. Strain stock and cool overnight. Mix: 250 gr crocodile trimmings 100 gr onion, minced 1 carrot 6 egg whites Add the mix to the cold stock and stir a few times so as not to stick on the base of the pot. Bring to a boil cook until mix is solid and stock is clear. Then simmer and reduce. Source: Helmut Poxrucker, Executive Chef Conrad Treasury Casino, Brisbane, Australia Notes added by Martin Menzies on what wasn't said in the recipe: Somehow I envisioned a Crocodile carcass to be somewhat larger than this, shows what I know. I think the whole recipe is there you just have to read between the lines a bit. 1 - Cut up the Garnish. 2 - Make the stock. 3 - Clarify the stock. The process is the same for a beef consomme. 4 - On service add the garnish to the consomme and serve. BTW - Seafood Consomme's are the hardest thing on earth to keep clear - So I would guess that the garnish is to distract you from the waterlike, yet murky, consomme. About 10 years ago I did a "Con Frerie Chaine des Rotisseurs" dinner and served a local Striped Sea Bass Consomme what a mistake, I finally carved little fishies out of different veg to distract the eye, looked kinda like an edible aquarium.

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
