I don't have a recipe per se, except that I avoid meatloaf at all costs. One of the nice things about being an adult. Mom made some great dishes, but I have always detested meatloaf.
Come to think of it, I can't stand the music of Meat Loaf either. Bonus.
Meatloaf = A thorough waste of meat and music.
Kangaroo Tail Soup
1 Kangaroo Tail
2 litres Water
1 Stalk Celery
1 large Carrot
10 Peppercorns
1 large Onion
Cloves
30 grams Flour
30-60 grams Dripping
Salt
Tomato Sauce
Wash, scald and dry the tail and divide the large joints at the root and shake in the flour. Heat the dripping and brown the pieces of tail.
Add the water and gently cook for 4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Strain the stock into a large basin. Take out the pieces of tail and dip into boiling water to remove excess fat.
When the stock is cold, skim off the fat which will have formed on the top. Return the stock to the pan adding the vegies, salt, peppercorns and cloves. Cook until the veggies are tender and soft, press vegetables through a strainer, return once more to the pan and thicken with flour, which has been made into a thin paste with milk or water. Stir, and once more bring the soup to the boil.
Add the tomato sauce, simmer for a further 5 minutes so that the flour is thoroughly cooked, then serve the soup hot.
The pieces of Kangaroo Tail can be reheated in a thick gravy flavoured with a little walnut vinegar and served separately, garnished with chopped pickled walnut ...yum! .....and finally,a recipe where splatter doesn't matter, maybe a shovel on the freeway will save some time.
