Ingredients
- 500 g kangaroo mince
- 2 sheets (about 500 g total) puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1, beaten (for egg wash) egg
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine 500 g kangaroo mince, 1 finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp mixed dried herbs, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Step 2: Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a floured surface and cut each into 4 equal rectangles. Divide the mince mixture evenly along the long edge of each rectangle, shaping into a log about 1 inch wide.
- Step 3: Brush the edges of the pastry with 1 beaten egg, then roll over the mince to encase it fully. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork. Cut each roll into 3 pieces and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 400 g canned diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a chunky relish.
- Step 6: Serve the hot sausage rolls with the spiced tomato relish on the side.
