The SANE kitchen

The SANE kitchen

Come and read some chef’s best recipes! Add in your own if you like.


Disclaimer / I’m not a trained chef.

Ingredients are mostly pantry staples, it’s 2024 we are all too broke for that fancy stuff. A lot of the fresh veg comes from my garden.

Also pretty basic nothing fancy, trying to make use of what we have and waste less. Also, play with the quantity this is really up to you, mine won’t be that accurate cause sometimes I cook for 2 sometimes for 4 sometimes I put things in freezer.

Starting with recipe 1 in the reply posts below

Please add your own too! 😊

Re: The SANE kitchen

Hey folks!! I made a kangaroo stew last night, thought I'd share!!

@Oaktree @ArraDreaming @Former-Member @tyme @Bow @Appleblossom @Shaz51

So super easy, I just slapped it together and it turned out WAY TOO DELICIOUS and I slipped into a heavy food coma after eating 3 bowls of it last night 😝

Ingredients:

- Diced kangaroo approx. 500g

- Beef stock - 2 cups

- Large sweet potato

- 3 carrots

- 3-4 large celery stems, trimmed

- Fire roasted capsicum (I bought it pre-roasted and pickled, but you can roast yourself if you prefer)

- Can of black beans (or preferred beans. Butter beans would also go down a treat)

- Cumin seeds

- Oregano leaves

- 3-4 large bay leaves

- Onion & garlic (I used powder because it's less likely to cause reflux. Use fresh for max flavours! One medium brown onion and a bulb of garlic should suffice)

1. First off, dice and roast the sweet potato with some oil, salt & pepper, cumin seeds, and oregano. I dice mine really small because it cooks quicker, and because more surface area = more delicious browned edges that give the stew a tasty caramel flavour.

2. Sear the kangaroo in a large pot, just until meat is sealed. Add in garlic and onion (powder or fresh), then add in diced carrot and celery, as well as another sprinle of oregano and cumin seeds. Cook briefly until celery/onion begins to become translucent and super fragrant.

3. Pour in beef stock, and add in extra hot water if needed in order to fully cover the meat & veg. Add in beans, capsicum, and roasted sweet potato, as well as the bay leaves.

4. Simmer, covered (or uncovered if it needs to reduce) for about 2-3 hours or until meat is tender and falls apart.

Tada!! Lemme know if you make it or if you have your own version of roo stew you could share!! 😁

Thanks for sharing @Jynx
I don’t eat kangaroo so not for me but I’m sure you enjoyed it

Re: The SANE kitchen

Oh true @ArraDreaming may I ask why? You don't have to answer! I'm just curious 😉

Re: The SANE kitchen

Cultural @Jynx we don’t eat our totem animal ❤️
Mine is the red kangaroo/kere aherre, perhaps slightly different to what you’d eat but I still don’t
Our totem sprit in Dreamtime is ara (hence the username)
It is our job to protect them

@ArraDreaming

My totem is the Willy Wagtail or Djidi Djidi (pronounced chitty chitty)

Re: The SANE kitchen

I suspected it might've been cultural but didn't want to presume @ArraDreaming that's really cool, thanks for sharing! Do each of your kids have their own totem too, or are you a big bunch of kangas together?
