Summer Kangaroo Kebabs in Green Paw Paw Marinade

January 1, 2011

We celebrated New Year’s Eve at a barbeque with neighbours. It’s one of the things I love about living in a functioning community – socialising within walking distance.  I could go on about greenhouse footprints but really it’s enough that I can drink half a bottle of red wine and wander home in the starlight [...]

Kangaroo Kale Rolls

December 1, 2010

If you don’t have kale, I think the filling in this recipe will work just as well with cabbage if you  reduce the water and the cooking time a little. But if you don’t have kale you’re missing out!  It’s a real super-food, with a big range of vitamins and minerals and some important anti-cancer [...]

Italian Kangaroo Meatballs

September 15, 2010

I nearly share a birthday with my father, so I made these for our shared birthday dinner.  We had family and friends for dinner, and  the last thing I wanted to do on my birthday was to be so busy I missed all the jokes.  The recipe is elegant enough to be a celebration dinner, [...]

Kangaroo Yahni

August 26, 2010

One of the best things about Australian cuisine (besides its base in fresh produce)  is its multiculturalism.  We are recipe bower birds, picking up anything that is bright and shiny from other places and taking it home! One of the worst things about Australian cuisine is the ignorant way we have dismissed the heritage of [...]

Kangaroo Stroganoff

July 12, 2010

Perhaps because it was such a 1970′s dinner party recipe, stroganoff has a reputation for being difficult and time consuming to cook, and it’s not, not at all.  Use kangaroo fillet and you can have it ready to eat in about 20 minutes.  The standard 1970′s version has rather too much fat in it for [...]

Kangaroo with Tangelo, Lime and Ginger Sauce

June 27, 2010

No picture for this one.  It was one of those cooking experiments that just developed along the way, and was already eaten by the time I realised, hmm, this is a good one! My tangelo compote is still my current breakfast fetish, but the possum is starting in on the tangelos, so I decided it [...]

Moroccan Style Kangaroo Tagine with White Beans and Preserved Lemon

May 20, 2010

If you are new to kangaroo meat, this is not a bad recipe to start out with.  The preserved lemon is the interesting flavour in it, and kangaroo is a great meat for a tagine because it is so lean and dense. And I also believe kangaroo is the most ethical choice for Australians. Kangaroos [...]

Kangaroo Vindaloo

March 27, 2010

I had to do this recipe.  I like the rhyme just too much!  Vindaloo is a hot curry though, whichever way you look at it. You can reduce the chili and pepper a little bit in this recipe, but if you don’t like spicy food, probably best to go for a different curry entirely than [...]

Kangaroo with Pomegranate Sauce

February 24, 2010

This is  dinner party fare, the kind of flavours you pull out of the hat to impress the Masterchef judges, if they should happen to call. The pomegranate sauce is the star. It tastes really good, and it doesn’t so much mask the kangaroo as outshine it, so it is a good way to introduce [...]
