Er...for those that happen to be a kangaroo in the fur, you have our sincere apologies :B

But it cant be helped if you taste good, especially if its from !

Okay just so you know Kangaroo meat is very common in Australia and I realise that many won't be able to source it as in many places it is a high end gourmet product. Even here in Australia its popularity has increased and demand has driven the prices up by double over the last 10 years.

The meat it's self works great with almost any side dish and cuisine but it should be noted it doesn't like to be heavily cooked. Steaks and roasts are usually cooked while keeping a little shade of pink in the middle and it's usually the biggest error and turn off for most people, when its cooked too much. On the flip slide some cuts like roo tail are great for long cooking stews and casseroles.


Roo Patties (Simple)

Ingredients

1kg kangaroo mince
500g sausage mince
3/4 cup of fine breadcrumbs
Pepper to taste
1 tbsp of soy sauce

1/4 cup seasoning:
I used Nostimini (http://www.gaganisbros.com.au/go/ou.....ucts/nostimini)

Please note: that you can use any range of seasoning that you like...salt and pepper, dried herbs, onion or garlic flakes. This recipe is Roo Patties in their simple form. The use of sausage meat is to help the ingredients combine and regulate the cooking time.

Directions

Combine all ingredients well using your hands and form into meatballs, patties/rissoles or burger patties. (Mix can be quite sticky so if you want use food grade gloves)

Pan fry on medium heat in a pan with a little olive oil until brown on both sides and just cooked through. Takes about 10 -15 minutes a side depending on the size of your patties and what your heat source is. (I use an electric pan on heat 6/7 with a non-stick paper in it so I don't need a lot of oil.)

To Serve

I simply put my patties on a plate and serve with salad or veg and sometimes with some dipping sauce.
Or
Thread three patties on a stick with dipping sauce on the side.

Goes great with mash and mixed vegetables too or rice and veg.
