Endemic to South Africa the Alikreukel, also known as the Giant Periwinkle or Olly Crock, is a favourite in our little family especially over the December holidays when a day of snorkeling and fishing is swiftly followed with a seafood feast.
We are spoilt in our part of the world by the bounty of harvest our beautiful ocean provides. I am grateful that my ocean loving hubby does all the cleaning and prepping of the seafood as I have to admit I do not have the stomach to the deal with all the guts and gore.
So this recipe is what follows after the harvesting, cleaning and prepping of the Alikreukel. I will post a video on how to clean the Alikreukel soon. (Be warned, it's not pretty!)
Alikreukel Stroganoff is very quick and easy to make and only needs a few ingredients. Whilst I always like to add a few flairs to my recipes, this one is best when kept plain and simple. (Some wise words from my dad!)
However Thai Green Curried Alikreukel is heavenly, but you will have to wait till the boys go harvesting again for that recipe.
Enjoy!
