Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine 400 g kangaroo mince, 1 finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Roll out each of the 2 puff pastry sheets on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Divide the kangaroo mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a long sausage shape along the pastry sheet's length.
  3. Step 3: Brush the edges of the pastry with 1 beaten egg, then roll to encase the filling firmly. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork. Cut each roll into 3 equal pieces.
  4. Step 4: Brush each piece generously with the remaining egg wash. Place the sausage rolls on a grill pan and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pastry is golden and the filling is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
  6. Step 6: Add 400 g canned diced tomatoes, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens into a chunky relish.
  7. Step 7: Serve the warm kangaroo sausage rolls with the spiced tomato relish on the side for dipping.
