Kangaroo Ragu

It’s hard to do justice to a ragu in a photo, especially when it’s a winter dinner and there’s no natural light. But a ragu in the slow cooker is bliss to come home to on a winter night, and there are a lot more vegetables in this meal than appear.

Kangaroo Stir Fry with Ginger and Lemon Grass

I post a lot of vegetarian recipes here but we’re not vegetarian. Sometimes we go for ages eating vegetarian, but more because that’s what I feel like cooking and eating and I have all the ingredients I need without going shopping, than for any philosophical reason. If you’ve ever seriously tried to feed yourself out of a garden, you will know that animals – big ones and very little ones…

Kangaroo Lasagna

Though I’m very critical of the intensive farming of animals for meat, I’m not a vegetarian. If you’ve ever seriously tried to grow enough to feed your own household (let alone enough to fully support it), you will know that food webs include predators, prey, animals, plants, insects, funghi, bacteria – the whole complex web. If you take animals and predation out of the system, it teeters and falls.

Kangaroo Saag

Saag is the dish I order whenever I go to an Indian restaurant, and this time of year, with silver beet and mustard both in bulk in the garden, one of my home cooking regulars. I posted a vegetarian Saag recipe a few weeks ago, in the Tuesday Night Vego Challenge series. This meat version is, sadly, no more photogenic.

Kangaroo and Mushroom Pie With Olive Oil Crust

Some friends for dinner who had never eaten kangaroo before and were a bit dubious. In this pie, you really can’t tell the meat is kangaroo – it could just as easily be chuck steak. Not that I usually try to disguise it – kangaroo is our red meat of choice these days, for all sorts of reasons – ethical, ecological, cost, health benefits – but taste is also up…

Roossaka

I’ve never got into the habit of cooking ahead. But this one, when I make it I make a decent sized batch and we eat it for a couple of lunches and dinners. It’s just as good cold as hot and good enough to still look forward to the third time.
