Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Rinse the basmati rice and set aside. Slice capsicum, chop tomatoes, slice carrots, slice mushrooms, mince garlic, grate ginger, and chop parsley.

   Time: PT10M

2. Brown Kangaroo Meat

   Heat 2 Tbsp tallow in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the kangaroo cubes in a single layer; let sit 1‑2 min before stirring to develop a deep brown crust.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑high

3. Add Aromatics

   Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir‑fry for 30‑45 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: Medium‑high

4. Incorporate Vegetables

   Add capsicum, tomatoes, mushrooms, and carrots. Stir‑mix and cook for 3‑4 minutes until vegetables start to soften.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: Medium

5. Season & Add Broth

   Sprinkle chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir, then pour in 30 g bone‑broth concentrate dissolved in ½ cup hot water. Add the optional ancestral supplement.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

6. Simmer

   Reduce heat to low, place the skillet lid on, and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

   Time: PT30M

   Temperature: Low

7. Cook Rice

   While the stir‑fry simmers, cook the rinsed basmati rice in a rice cooker using the standard water‑to‑rice ratio (1 cup rice to 1.25 cup water). Start the cooker now so it finishes alongside the stir‑fry.

   Time: PT20M

8. Finish & Serve

   When the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley, and divide the rice onto six containers. Top each with an equal portion of the kangaroo stir‑fry.

   Time: PT3M

Chef Tips from the Video

• Tallow’s high smoke point makes it perfect for searing; don’t let it burn.
• Deglaze the pan with a splash of water after browning meat to capture all browned bits.
