Ingredients
- 500 g kangaroo mince
- 2 sheets (about 250 g each) puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 2, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1, beaten (for egg wash) egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm with tomato sauce or chutney.
