Reflection (Highlights, skills and techniques shown, policies and procedures followed, how did I ensure efficiency, safety, quality and cleanliness, what did I learn,
what would I do different in future?)
n the practical cooking class as we prepared herb-crusted kangaroo medallions with caramelized onions. It was my first-time
cooking kangaroo, and I must say, it was a unique and delicious experience.
The instructor started the class by giving us a brief introduction to kangaroo meat, explaining its nutritional value and the
different ways to cook it. We were then given the recipe, which included marinating the kangaroo meat in a mixture of olive
oil, garlic, and a selection of herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
We prepared the caramelized onions by cooking sliced onions slowly in butter and sugar until they were soft and sweet. The
aroma of the onions filled the room and made our mouths water. We also made a red wine jus to accompany the dish, which
added a depth of flavour to the meat.
The most exciting part of the dish was the herb crust. We mixed breadcrumbs with chopped herbs, lemon zest, and grated
parmesan cheese to make a crunchy coating for the kangaroo medallions. The crust was added to the kangaroo just before
searing it in a hot pan to give it a crispy and flavourful coating.
As we played our dishes, the aromas were irresistible. The caramelized onions looked perfect on the side of the plate, and the
kangaroo medallions were beautifully cooked with a golden-brown crust. The red wine jus was poured over the meat, and the
dish was complete.
When we tasted the kangaroo, it was like nothing I had ever tasted before. It was tender, juicy, and had a slightly sweet and
nutty flavour. The herb crust added a lovely crunch to the meat, and the caramelized onions complemented the flavours
beautifully.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience cooking this unique and delicious dish. I am excited to try cooking kangaroo again and
exploring more dishes with this unique meat. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques in this
practical cooking class.
