    I was curious because I'd like to serve it over rice and I figured if it was soupy, it'd run all over.

    You could probably cut down on some of the liquid or uncover the pot to let some more liquid evaporate if you want it thicker. I mostly make it for the leftovers so I can accept one thinner bowl.

    BTW in other alternatives to the basic recipe, chicken broth works well too if you don't mind it not being vegetarian.

    I like to put sweet potato in with dahl

    Just, cook it down with the onions so it goes a bit mushy with the lentils

    I just had lunch at a Thai buffet and holy moley was that some great food. Not a huge buffet, just 10 hot items, a mixed veggie salad with peanut dressing, and some melon slices, but everything was delicious. Less than $10 for all you can eat, too!

    There were hardly any Thai places where I used to live, and I'm super glad that I've moved somewhere with a large Thai community. Thai food is quickly moving up my list if favorite styles of food.

    They had a green curry on the buffet! It was full of bambo shoots, some variety of big grayish-black mushrooms, chicken, and some other veggies I'm forgetting. The curry sauce was killer, just the right balance of coconut milk sweetness and spiciness.

    Another good thing about dal - especially if you have it with brown rice, as you absolutely should - is that if you've been having any little issues with, uh, throughput then those will be solved.

    So far I haven't seen a lot of 'roo around Boston, but turns out Trader Joe's has Barramundi, so there's a taste of home. Made a sous-vide version with lemongrass and ginger butter (seared quickly at the end).

    I've only personally seen kangaroo in jerky form, but I know that it does exist as a raw meat in the US.

  • Options
    tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    I generally don't buy it overseas unless it's on special and I'm feeling particularly nostalgic; the air-miles make it both budget and eco-unfriendly. Plus every time I've bought kangaroo in Europe it turns out to be the tougher cuts. But I'll keep an eye out!

    Yeah. From what I understand, Kangaroos are impossible to raise as cattle, so all the Meat is harvested from the wild. So that's a long trip to the US.

    You could probably set up a kangaroo ranch if you really wanted but it's way more trouble than it's really worth. The eat-local equivalent in the US would be venison, if I really wanted to fill a red game craving.

    Roos are tough and can subsist off dirt and weeds, the problem is keeping them in. You need pretty decent fences about 9 feet high so the fuckers don't just jump over them.

    KakodaimonosKakodaimonos Code fondler Helping the 1% get richerRegistered User regular
    Yeah. I think it's more of a "raise without losing a shit ton of money" situation. You'd need a large ranging area that's fenced in with high fences that are dig proof.

    But it's moot since you Australians are all "no exporting local animals for commercial use" now.

    Hmm, buffalo are fine. We've got tons of them.

    You just have to make sure you've got all the proper equipment at the processing plants.

    Way back when I was a young lad, I worked over the summers and weekends at a local meat packing plant. It mostly did the occasional steer from the local farmers, with a few deer thrown in when there was a hunter who didn't want to do the butchering themselves. One of the local farmers decided to start raising bison and had called up and asked the owner if we could handle them.

    The other guys and I were pretty sure we couldn't and told the owner we needed a bigger stunner and better rails if we were gonna do bison. The owner went ahead and had them bring a bison in for processing. Well, when you try to use a stunner that only has 5" on a bison that has about 4" of hide and skull in the way, you end up with one seriously pissed off bison. And the capture pen and rails were all set up for cattle, so there was a pissed off bison that was able to break out of the rails and was destroying everything in it's path.

    The owner was able to finally bring the bison down with his .30-45, but the entire intake area of the processing plant was trashed.

    Okay guys, I'm making a Mexican dish that's mussels with a cilantro-parsley sauce

    What vegetable side dish can I do? It's got to be vegetables, preferably not potatoes or squash.

    Sesame sauce:
    1 tbsp tahini
    1 tbsp toasted sesame seed
    1 tsp sugar
    2 tbsp soy sauce
    1 tbsp stock
    1 tbsp mirin

    Blend. It should just coat the shrimp, so adjust amounts accordingly.

    Miso-Mustard sauce:
    3 tbsp miso
    3 tbsp mirin
    1 tbsp rice vinegar
    1 tsp mustard powder

    Blend. Again, it just coats the shrimp.

    Brown sauce:
    1 cup stock
    3 tbsp mirin
    1 tbsp dark soy saice
    2 tbsp black bean paste or oyster sauce
    1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in a tsp of water

    Blend. This is a larger amount so you can add vegetables and stuff.

    Green sauce:
    1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
    5 cloves garlic, chopped
    1/2 tsp pepper
    2 tsp salt
    1 tsp chopped jalepeno
    2 tbsp minced oregano
    3 tbsp finely chopped red onions
    3 tbsp sherry vinegar
    zest and juice of 2 lemons
    300 ml olive oil

    Blend together.

    Garlic Sauce:
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 tsp salt
    1 large onion, thinly sliced
    125ml juice (half orange, half lemon)
    2 tbsp lime juice
    2 tsp olive oil

    Mostly a marinade, can be cooked down for a sauce.

    Gimme stuff. Please. And I don't just mean my Secret Satan.

    Sorry all, I appreciate the recommendations, but I've decided to just to glazed carrots and kale caesar salad, because I didn't want to go to the grocery store again!

    Also... I was pulling the mussels from the fridge to the sink and I had this moment where I looked at the bag and wondered if mussels have sentience/consciousness or spatial awareness, and now I'm just sort of looking at them. :confused:

    They don't have a central nervous system so ... I doubt it. If that helps.

    Good point, good point.

    I had a manhattan on an empty stomach, okay, it made me suddenly very concerned.

    Made a pork herb-and-black-pepper-crusted tenderloin with vermouth and ancho fennel.

    (secretly I just wanted the leftover pork for putting in hot and sour udon).
