Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out 2 puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut each into 4 rectangles.
  4. Step 4: Divide the cooled mince mixture evenly along the center of each pastry rectangle. Brush 1 beaten egg along the edges, then roll the pastry tightly over the filling and seal the edges.
  5. Step 5: Place sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
  7. 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.
  8. Step 8: Serve the hot sausage rolls with the tangy tomato chutney for a delicious Australian-inspired snack.
