      Title: Kangaroo Tail Soup (in pressure cooker)
 Categories: Soups, Game, Vegetables
      Yield: 8 Servings

      1 lg Kangaroo tail
    300 g  Carrots; sliced
      3    Ribs of celery; cut up
      3 md Onions; sliced
      1 tb Butter
      2 ts Ground black pepper
      2 ts Ground nutmeg
      7    Whole cloves
      2 c  Canned tomatoes; chopped
           Salt
      3 tb Soy sauce

  Separate the joints of the 'roo tail. Brown the butter on a
  medium heat in pressure cooker. Quickly fry the tail in the
  butter until the pieces are lightly browned.

  Add the onions and carrots, and gently fry for 2 minutes,
  then add celery, pepper, cloves, nutmeg, salt. Fry on the
  same heat for another 10 minutes. Add soya sauce and turn
  heat to high for 2 minutes, stirring. Add tomatoes with
  liquid and stir to crush.

  Add water to cover, stir and put lid on pressure cooker.
  When steam starts to come out, reduce heat and start timing.
  After 25 minutes take off stove and cool down and remove
  lid.

  If you want to thicken the soup, you can mix cornflour or
  coconut cream powder with hot water and stir into soup.
  Simmer for another 10 minutes without the lid, while
  stirring.

  Serve with rice.

  Just for you, I have attached a recipe for Kangaroo Tail
  Soup, which was derived from an Indonesian Ox Tail Soup, and
  can be used for Ox Tail. I have made it many times, and it
  is a family favourite.
