food Chilli camel ...Aussie style

Scorpion

Scorpion

I have had a few chats with mr chillihunter recently...mainly about rifle laws, hunting and alike. I told him that my partner and I hunt our own meat and are self sufficient meat wise...(saves on the shopping bill) he encouraged me to post a pic of some camel next time I was cooking...So here it is. Nailed this camel east of kalgoorlie: 600kg's

Marinated camel steaks, slow fried in olive oil and butter, accompanied by a little balichan, sue lin, bishops crowns, purple cayene and and f1 hybrid im working on (paprika crossed with a anaheim)....this will be served with home made Scorpion chilli sweet chilli sauce and slow fried onions...On a diet so no rice!

Heres the marinade:

Camel hmmmmmmmmmm it would taste a bit like goat wouldn't it
I'll try anything at least once, travelled through Asia quite a bit...eaten squirals, bats, snakes, dogs, beetles and even rats amongst other things

camel is alot like beef in taste....it cooks much the same also but better if done a little slower. Its got only a slight game taste that is a just slightly tangy. its a great meat that cuts well and freezes well.

But I tell you what you get alot off 1 animal!:onfire:

Sorry but I have to....

Is there any sport in hunting a camel?;)

I saw a whole camel (sans legs and head) pressure cooked with rice on the travel channel. I almost puked.lol.

I would try it, but not pressure cooked. Is anything good pressure cooked?

It looked boiled. I think it was Anthony Bourdain in Saudi Arabia.

When hunting, Camels are some what more elusive than people may think. They can be very cagey (hard to get close to) and they can run bloody fast!! 4k's chasing those buggers and your done!! I must say hunting goats on the chase are fairly hard as well though (even if they have smaller legs) We get deluxe recipes happening when it comes to camel and goat....preasure cooking....ooooooooo, narp!! WRONG! Like you say nothing should be done that way. The meat is fabulous, lean adn the cuts and taste are just like beef.
