Chargrilled kangaroo with beetroot and radicchio
Kangaroo is best served medium rare, so be careful with cooking times! The beautiful native spices really make this dish by chef Dan Hunter.
Ingredients (10)
- 2 x 400g kangaroo loin fllets
- 2 tsp ground wattleseed
- 2 tsp ground pepperberry
- 1 tsp ground lemon myrtle
- 2 1/2 tbs honey
- 2 radicchio, leaves separated, outer leaves removed
- 8 baby beetroots, trimmed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 tbs white or red wine vinegar
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, to serve
Method
-
1.Preheat the oven to 180°C. Rub kangaroo fllets with spices. Set aside for 1 hour.
-
2.Meanwhile, combine the honey and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a bowl. Add the radicchio, then set aside for 1 hour, tossing occasionally so that radicchio is well coated. Individually wrap beetroots in foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until tender.
