How do you cook your Roo? Would you use Skippy the Kangaroo road kill?

Skippy the Kangaroo Stew - The Great Australian Stew

500g kangaroo meat, diced 
1 onion, chopped 
2 potatoes, chopped 
1 carrot, sliced, or pumpkin 
1 stick celery, sliced 
½ cup green beans or peas 
2 tablespoons vegemite (or 2 teaspoons of some other ‘mite’) 
1 tablespoon tomato sauce 
1 teaspoon curry powder 
1 420g can baked beans (optional) 

Brown the meat in a pot over fairly high heat.  Add the onion, then the rest of the ingredients, adding enough water to cover them.  Simmer 30-40 minutes.  If including baked beans, add them just before serving.  Bring the stew to bubbling point again, then serve.

Have you ever dared to stop and get that fresh road kill, throw him in yar boot whip him rund home for a guess-who's-having-stewed-roo-tonight? Or would you make a stew, stick it in a pie, throw it on the Barbi, or are you a clean and neat freak and fry it on the stove? Roo Stew Ingredients 500 g Kangaroo fillet cubed 1 onion cubed 1 carrot diced 1 stick of celery diced 1 cup of stock 1 teaspoon of corn flour splash of oil Instructions Heat fry pan and add a splash of oil then stir fry the kangaroo meat and the onions until brown. Add the stock and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the celery and the carrot and simmer for a further 25 minutes. To thicken the gravy add a little corn flour to cold water and mix in simmering for another 5 minutes. Add extra stock or water if you would like to make gravy thinner.

Before he met me and I civilized him, my husband LB(lazy bum) tells me that he once ate a good part of a road kill deer. So, while I have never stopped and gotten that fresh road kill meat and taken it home, old LB has. I always assumed that he did this because of the character trait after which I nick named him. That is, he was too lazy to hunt his own deer. However, after reading your recipe, it makes me think perhaps road kill cuisine might have redeeming value. Thanks, for posting your road kill recipe, maybe it will work with venison.

You'd be surprised at how many people I know admit to actually picking up road kill. I work at a large farm as a Jillarroo and quite often I'll turn up to work and someone's cutting cup their road kill to share out with the other.....lol

If you do find one, sell it, or it'll cost you lots on fencing. They can jump and love to smell the bonnet of your car as your flying down the highway.....lol
