Ground emu is minced meat for burgers, sauces, meatballs and pies. Lean Australian ratite red meat is beef-like in colour, low-fat and fine-grained. Very lean species need added fat for juiciness. Keep cold, season boldly with pepper, native spices, red wine, mushrooms and garlic butter, do not overwork patties, cook thoroughly in mixed dishes.
