The Starlet Cookbook
This is an adapted recipe but as we grow to appreciate Starlet as a foodstuff, I'm sure the peculiarities of the flesh will lead us in new directions.
Remove heads and feet from 12 dozen starlets. Insert a sharp knife through neck cavity and carefully split each bird down the back, keeping breast intact. Remove backbone, then carefully remove breastbone, cartilage and ribs. The bird should look like a butterfly, with only wing and leg bones attached. Place garlic cloves and ginger in the bowl of a food processor, and blend to a paste. Add aniseed, saffron, paprika, cayenne and lemon juice, and blend about 30 seconds to combine. Transfer blended ingredients to a mixing bowl, add chopped coriander and green onions and whisk in olive oil. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Place starlets in a shallow ceramic or enameled dish, add spice marinade and turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling. Preheat broiler or outdoor grill to highest temperature. Sprinkle starlets with salt. Grill starlets, skin-side-up, for 4 minutes, and then turn to grill 3 minutes, skin-side-down. Baste frequently with marinade while cooking. Test for doneness: starlets are best served rare. Suggested times are for a very hot fire. A home broiler will take longer than mesquite or charcoal briquettes. Serve with couscous, rice or a combination of bulgur wheat and rice, sprinkled with minced green onions and accompanied by a lemon wedge. __________________

Sorry Limey, but I think that's a bit disgusting.
Aniseed? Really? |
