Ingredients
- 400 g kangaroo mince
- 2 sheets (approx. 500 g) puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1, beaten (for egg wash) egg
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp, freshly grated ginger
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). In a skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and sauté 1 finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; cook for 1 minute until spices release aroma.
- Step 2: Add 400 g kangaroo mince to the skillet and cook, breaking up with a spoon, for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Step 3: On a floured surface, roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry into rectangles about 30x20 cm. Divide the cooled mince mixture evenly along one side of each pastry sheet, then roll tightly, sealing edges with a little water. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces.
- Step 4: Place sausage rolls on a lined baking tray and brush tops with 1 beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, prepare the tomato chutney: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 400 g canned diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp mustard seeds, and 1 tsp freshly grated ginger. Simmer gently for 20 minutes until thickened and syrupy, stirring occasionally.
- Step 6: Serve the hot sausage rolls with a generous spoonful of spiced tomato chutney on the side.
