Ingredients
- 1 lb kangaroo mince
- 2 puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Step 2: Add 1 lb kangaroo mince, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.

- Step 5: Place sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Step 7: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Simmer gently for 15 minutes until thickened into a chutney.
