Hi, I have been donated a pair of south island mutton birds, how the hell do you cook these sucka`s, these are from stewart island so they must be kosher,
Cheers Zeke
if you got em i want em
I suppose it's the maori coming out in me but I quite like the beasts.
Follow recipe as above and then roast in a sour cream and Mustard sauce with heaps of pepper
(I like my food hot).
Why????
When you can so easily get quails in aspic or lark's tongues, why fiddle around with damn muttonbirds for goodness sake 
Mmmmmmm, Mutton birds!
Yum, I miss them. My old man will have a good recipe for them, so I will ask him.
The way I have cooked them before, is boiling them for about an hour, then change the water, and boil again for an hour. Do this for a couple of times, then grill them under a hot grill for about 30 - 35 mins.
I will post my old mans recipe if I get one soon!
K Si,
Speaking from experience, the answer is yes. Well. my landlord did mind. I had been to see her earlier though, to borrow the spade to dig the pit.
When she asked where we were oing it I replied "at a mates place". She did not believe me when the next day, standing next to the bloody great hole in the ground and beer bottles everywhere, plus empty keg, i said"he pulled out, so we did it here". Funny that.
Still, great party.
