Kangaroo Savoury Mince
Whip up a big batch of this for easy cold or warm-up-able meals for the rest of the week.
​
Versatile in flavour, high in nutrient-density and ease.
Ingredients
500g kangaroo mince (1kg packs usually range from $10-$15)
About 3-4 cups fresh veggies (carrot, onion, zuke, cauli, pumpkin work well)
1-2 tbsp pure herbs and/or spices of choice (Mingle 'All Purpose' seasoning is yum)
Healthy oil for pan (I use grass-fed ghee or beef tallow)
Drizzle of organic olive oil to serve (Melrose Health have a good one)
Mineral salt to taste
Optional: 1 tbsp coconut amino for added richness and sweetness, organic tomato paste.
​Handy items to have
-
Food processor, grater or similar chopping doovy-whatsit
-
Large fry pan or saucepan with lid (a larger base is ideal)
-
Wooden spoon
Method
-
Heat fry pan or saucepan on the stove to a moderate temp to get started. Add cooking oil/fat
-
Roughly chop veggies to about the same size pieces - then place in the food processor and blitz for about 5-10-30 seconds until small pieces remain
-
Transfer the veggie mixture to the stove and spread out to start cooking
-
Add in the kangaroo mince and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up
-
Place the lid on for speedier cooking. Continue breaking it all up and stirring every couple of minutes
-
When the mixture has almost finished cooking add herbs and spices, as well as the salt, and stir to combine
-
Transfer to a bowl to serve there and then for dinner, and place the rest in sealable containers to refrigerate and take to work (freeze any you won't be consuming within a few days)
Notes:
- Roo mince cooking on its own can be quite 'liquidy' and end up stewing but cooked like this with the veggies doesn't seem to be a problem
- Replace Mingle seasoning with fresh herbs and spices of choice if you prefer or can't access Mingle (available at Coles)
- Add tomato paste and bone broth to turn it into a bolognese-style sauce and serve with pasta of choice (zoodles, grain-free bought pasta, konjac noodles etc)
- I think this dish is delicious when cold but you could heat it up at home in the morning then take to work in a thermos (to avoid nasty microwave radiation)
