Kangaroo Lasagne That Tastes Like Pepperoni Pizza

 Well that's what Bunny said. It was OK. Points of difference were: 

For the mince mix, fry diced onions, add kangaroo mince, brown, add red wine, and then start adding things like: 

dried oregano and parsley, vegimite, vegeta, balsamic vinager, a spoon of sugar, liquid smoke, more red wine, salt to taste after all that, pepper...I think that's about it. Cook a fair bit, that roo needs some time. 

For the layers, butternut squash in flat thinnish slabs (3mm-ish), peeled aubergine in similar slabs, both microwaved with a splash of water, covered and salted until they won't bother anyone, and drain. 

For the sauce, regular white sauce with plenty of nutmeg, and layer it with cheddar (easier than melting the cheddar in the sauce). I also had some mozarella balls which I scattered but I'm sure this wasn't necessary. 

Pretty damn tasty. No pics, looked good. 

Beef Ribs in Red Wine, in Carrot and Pumkin Puree

 


These are cooked in the usual Gordon Ramsay way in the oven for three hours under foil, but this time after browning the ribs and removing from the pan initially, the wine got reduced a bit on the stovetop before putting the ribs in, covering, and ovening. Also for the gravy, added a bit of balsamic vinager, which gave a nice kick against the fat. 


The pumpkin and carrot puree and beans are exactly as you'd expect. Delicious. 

Stuffed Peppers Bunny-Style

 



Mince, add fried onions and carrots, mix, add cream and blue cheese (melted into it) and a bit of cheddar, as well as a bit of panko. Top off with a mozarella ball, cook about 40 odd minutes on about 180. This was different from the usual in tomato sauce because it concentrated the pepper flavour. Also really meaty because there's no rice. Jolly tasty.
