KANGAROO
​

​I like it by itself, only cooked on a pan with few drop of olive oil with a good potatoes puree and a green salad.
 
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan then sear the steak until crispy on the outside.
Cut thin slices.
 
Buddy it up with a potato puree or a salad. 

Crocodile

In Northern Australia (which includes the top ends of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland) the Saltwater Crocodile is thriving, particularly in the multiple river systems near Darwin (such as the Adelaide, Mary and Daly Rivers, along with their adjacent billabongs and estuaries) where exceptionally large (6 meter +) individuals are not uncommon.
Crocodile has been described as a healthy meat due to its overall composition and for being low in fat and high in protein.
It has a mild and delicate flavor, firm texture. It tastes like chicken, no !..... hum... a bit fishy.......well,
it is a succulent white meat :)
​

4 servings

 Ingredients
500g crocodile meat
3 or 4 lemon grass
1 medium size lemon juice
thyme
1 or 2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

 Method
Its white flesh is delicate, ,you must not overcook it, otherwise it become a bit chewy. It is a lean meat.
We wanted to have the crocodile without sauce so I decided to prepare it simply in a pan with few drops of olive oil. 
 
Cut the meat into middle size pieces, season with pepper and salt and freshly lemon juice (1 medium lemon0, few leaves of lemon grass,thyme
salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Refrigerate this for about 1 hour.
After some time in the fridge, heat oil in a shallow pan and slow fry the meat, turning it as you go for few minutes only.

 

EMU

This has been a revelation for me because first of all it was the first time I've eaten this bird but also his dark red colour like a duke was intimidating.
I cooked it simply like the crocodile with few drops of olive oil.
 
The tenderness and texture of emu meat enables it to be prepared in a variety of ways.
It is best prepared lightly grilled or pan fried.
The emu meat is low in fat, it doesn't need to be cooked as long or with a high a temperature as most other meats.
Emu is best when cooked rare to medium rare.
