Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground kangaroo meat with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 6 equal patties, approximately 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F).
  4. Step 4: Remove patties from the skillet and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve each patty topped with about 2 tbsp of bush tomato chutney for a bright, tangy contrast.
