Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced kangaroo loin and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove kangaroo from wok and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 medium sliced red capsicum, 1 cup snow peas, and 1 small sliced red onion. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  3. Step 3: Return the kangaroo to the wok along with 1 tsp ground wattleseed, 3 tbsp bush tomato chutney, and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through and coated.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp fresh lime juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice if desired.

How do I store leftover Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Wattleseed and Bush Tomato Chutney?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep kangaroo loin, thinly sliced from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Wattleseed and Bush Tomato Chutney?
