Ingredients
- 500 g kangaroo mince
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 sheets (about 500 g total) puff pastry sheets
- 1, beaten for glaze egg
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large bowl, combine 500 g kangaroo mince, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
- Step 2: Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a floured surface to smooth any creases. Divide the spiced mince mixture evenly along the center of each pastry sheet, shaping into a log about 2 inches wide.
- Step 3: Brush one edge of each pastry sheet with the beaten egg (1 whole egg) and carefully fold the pastry over the filling to enclose it. Press the edges firmly to seal and cut each log into 6 equal sausage rolls.
- Step 4: Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the filling is cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
