Ingredients
- 2 lbs kangaroo rump roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup, chopped dried bush tomatoes
- 1 medium, finely diced red onion
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp, grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. Rub 2 lbs kangaroo rump roast with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper evenly on all sides. Place in a roasting pan.
- Step 2: Slow roast the kangaroo in the oven for about 1 hour 45 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 130°F for medium rare is reached. Remove from oven and rest covered loosely with foil for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup chopped dried bush tomatoes, 1 finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until thickened into a chutney.
- Step 4: Slice the rested kangaroo rump thinly against the grain and serve with a generous spoonful of the bush tomato chutney alongside to balance the rich meat with tangy sweetness.
