Ben O'Donoghue - Seared Kangaroo with Creamed Corn


Serves 4 / Preparation 40mins / Cooking 15mins


Ingredients

  • 4 kangaroo fillets

  • 2 tablespoons Thyme

  • 2 Cloves Garlic

  • ½ Glass Port

  • 50 g shiitake mushrooms sliced

  • 25 g dried cep mushrooms

  • 25 g dried morel mushrooms

  • 2 cups fresh corn kibbles

  • 2 cups Cream

  • 1 tablespoon Parsley chopped

  • 1 Lemon

  • 100 g Butter

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon

  • 1 cup veal stock

  • 1 large shallot

  • fresh truffle or truffle oil, optional


Method

  • Season the kangaroo with the chopped thyme, salt, freshly ground black pepper and allow to infuse for 10 minutes.

  • Seal the kangaroo in half the foaming butter, remove to a plate and allow to cool. Finely slice one garlic clove and truffle and add to the butter. Spoon this over the kangaroo and allow to infuse.

  • Place the kangaroo fillets into your vacuum bags and divide the butter and truffle between each bag. Add a splash of port to each bag and seal. These can be kept at room temp around 30 minutes or until required.

  • Place the corn kibbles into a pot with the remaining garlic. Cover with parchment paper and reduce by half and then puree until very smooth. Season.

  • Chop one shallot and add a cup of red wine and reduce to syrup. Then add the stock and reduce by 3/4. Stir in 1/2 of the remaining butter and keep warm.

  • Heat the remaining butter in a small pot and add the soaked and drained mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, add the soaking liquor and cook down until it is almost evaporated. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add the finely chopped parsley and season.

  • Heat a large pot of water to 70 degrees and poach each kangaroo fillet for 10 minutes.

  • Place the creamed corn first then a layer of braised mushrooms. Slice and serve the kangaroo on top. Then pour the sauce over the meat.
