Ingredients
- 2 sheets (about 500g) puff pastry sheets
- 500g kangaroo mince
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
- 1, beaten for egg wash egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 200ml tomato passata
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp, grated ginger
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely diced medium onion and sauté for 4 minutes until translucent. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 2: Add 500g kangaroo mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Divide the mince mixture evenly along the long edge of each sheet, shaping into a log about 2 inches wide. Brush 1 beaten egg along the edges, then roll the pastry over the filling and press to seal. Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces.
- Step 4: Place sausage rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, combine 200ml tomato passata, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until thickened and syrupy.
- Step 6: Serve the hot sausage rolls with the spiced tomato chutney for dipping.
