 3 Fruit bats, well washed but either skinned nor eviscerated,

Water

1 tb Finely sliced fresh ginger,

1 lg Onion, quartered,



Sea salt to taste, Chopped scallions, Soy sauce and/or coconut cream.


1. Place the bats in a large kettle and add water to cover, the ginger,
onion, and salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 40 minutes. Strain broth
into a second kettle.


2. Take the bats, skin them and discard the skin. Remove meat from the bones
and return meat, and any of the viscera you fancy, to the broth. Heat.

    It's very tender meat. The taste is similar to rabbit, but slightly milder.

    There are only three ingredients. It's really not difficult. Paleo is designed to be simple.
