Made with:
Abalone from The Abalone Farm, Cayucos, CA
Ingredients:
1 lb. Abalone Medallions
1 cup White Flour
1 cup Butter
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
Beurre Blanc Sauce (Recipe)
Procedure:
1. Remove abalone medallions from bag, and discard liquid.
2. If frozen, thoroughly thaw before separating steaks to prevent tearing.
3. Place flour on a plate, or sheet of wax paper.
4. Lightly dust the abalone steaks with flour on both sides.
5. Melt the butter in a sauce pan or microwave oven. Heat a large heavy gauge frying pan.
6. Pour approximately 1/3 cup butter into pan, and heat until it sizzles when flour is sprinkled in. Put in just enough abalone to cover the bottom of the pan ( 4 – 6 pieces.)
7. Cook over 30 seconds and turn. Repeat this procedure until all abalone are cooked.

-Dust in flour, and dip in egg wash before frying.
-Omit the lemon juice from the recipe.
