Paua is the only shellfish that should not be fed to cats and dogs.

4 paua
1 onion
2 tomatoes
300 mls cream
salt and pepper

Shell paua by using your thumb. Remove and eat the gall sac (Maori believe it is a gift from Tangaroa, God of the Sea, and should not be wasted). Place the paua inside mutton cloth and, using a hammer or knife handle, tenderise the white muscle. Put pan on low heat (if you boil paua you might as well eat your bootlaces). Add any amount of cream and whole paua. Cook for five minutes, add chopped tomato, chopped onion and salt and pepper. Cook for a further ten minutes, or until onion is cooked, stirring frequently.
