Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 500 g kangaroo mince, 1 finely diced medium onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Shape the mince mixture into small sausage-shaped logs about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Fry the mince logs for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, then remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four rectangles. Place one cooked mince log on each rectangle and brush the pastry edges with 1 beaten egg to seal. Roll the pastry tightly around the filling, pressing edges to seal.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped rolls seam side down and cook for 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook other sides for another 5-7 minutes until all sides are golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm with tomato sauce or chutney.
