600 g kangaroo fillet, trimmed and cubed
2 tsp coriander seeds, roasted and ground
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 medium-sized eggplants
1 tsp garlic cloves, minced
25 ml lemon juice
1 tbsp tahini
1/2 tsp sea salt
50 g yoghurt, plain
2 tsp parsley leaves, chopped.
Directions
Roll the cubes of kangaroo meat in the ground coriander seed and black
pepper, coating lightly. Skewer meat and put on an oiled tray until
ready to cook. Grill the eggplants until skins are black and
blistered. Cool slightly and skin them while still warm. Squeeze out
the bitter juices. Mash the flesh with a large fork gradually adding
the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, sea salt, parsley and yoghurt. Grill
the kebabs under (or over) high heat, brushing with oil to keep moist
being careful not to toughen the meat. Spoon the eggplant puree onto
the plates. Remove skewers and pile the meat cubes onto the puree.
Serve immediately.

The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of that time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Char Grilled Kangaroo Kebabs & Smoked Eggpl recipe.
