Kangaroo Surf and Turf Kebabs

Australian Surf and Turf

Kangaroo is the ultimate Australian meat. It isn't a gimmick it is in fact a high quality meat that is tender, full flavoured, low in cholesterol and fat. Kangaroo is usually sold vacuum packed, it can be found in some supermarkets in the UK and in supermarkets and specialist shops in Australia. If you can't find kangaroo, use ostrich or a beef

  3. To Cook: Heat a barbecue to moderate-high or preheat a grill to high or use a grill pan over a high heat. Place the kebabs on the hot barbecue or grill or grill pan and cook them fro 5-7 minutes on each side so that the kangaroo is cooked to your liking and the prawns pink and cooked through. Remove the kebabs from the barbecue and keep them warm until ready to serve. Barbecue the parboiled new potato brushed with a little olive oil for 5 minutes while cooking the kebabs.
  4. Dressing: Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl or shake them in a jar.
