Kangaroo & Vegetables Skewers In Red Wine Marinade

Ingredients

  • 10-15 bamboo skewers (depending on their length)Kangaroo Skewers
  • 1kg / 2.2 lb of kangaroo fillet (5-6 medium fillets), cut into 2-cm cubes
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1 cm disks
  • 1 small red capsicum, cut into 2-3 cm squares
  • 1 small yellow capsicum, cut into 2-3 cm squares
  • 1 red onion, cut into 2-3 cm square

For the marinade

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup of dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins and Fountain brands are gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon sweet/aged balsamic vinegar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dry or fresh chopped Italian herbs (parsley, oregano, basil)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Glaze sauce

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes, to prevent them from burning.
  2. Cut kangaroo fillets into medium, bite-size pieces. Cut onion length way into quarters. Cut each quarter in half to get square-shaped pieces, suitable for skewing.
  3. Mix together the marinade ingredients and add the meat. Mix to coat evenly and stand aside for 30 minutes to an hour. Overnight is even better.
  4. Add diced vegetables to the meat and stir through. Thread the meat pieces and vegetables onto the bamboo skewers, leaving 1cm at each end of the skewer. Any leftover vegetables can be grilled alongside or after the skewers are done.
  5. Preheat a barbecue grill or a large frying pan to high and spray with olive oil or brush with coconut oil. Grill the skewers for 4 minutes on each side, rotating, cover the barbecue hood for 1–2 minutes during that time.
  6. Mix together the glaze and brush over the skewers at the end of cooking. Rest skewers for a few minutes before serving.

HOW TO COOK:

Step 1: Place mince, onion and sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, mix until well combined. Divide evenly into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Working with 1 ball at a time, flatten between the palm of your hands and then on a flat surface to a 9cm-diameter patty. Transfer to a large baking paper-lined tray. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Meanwhile, combine dijonnaise, yoghurt and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat grill on medium. Using a serrated bread knife, cut each bread roll horizontally into 3 slices. Place slices on a tray. Grill cut sides of rolls for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden.

Step 3: Place flour on a large plate. Press patties into flour to lightly coat. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add half the patties. Cook, turning carefully, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining patties.

Step 4: Place bases on plates. Spread with one-third of the yoghurt mixture. Top with half the lettuce, the cheese and half the patties. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of sauce, then roll top. Serve.
