You've Heard of Pork and Chicken...How About Some KANGAROO??

I always ask my class what they would like to learn/work with throughout the quarter the first day of class. I believe it's our job as instructors to go the extra distance to connect unique food with our "green" students. Most of my students wanted to work with more game meats. I took this opportunity to seek out a specialty meat provider and found Valley Game and Gourmet. I was able to obtain kangaroo, elk chops, venison loin, sweet breads, pheasant and foie.
Here are some of the dishes we created with our incredible proteins:

Elk Chop with Beet Tartare

Kangaroo Tartare with Gratin

Elk Chop with Lobster Mushrooms and Hubbard Squash
