Ingredients
- 500 g kangaroo fillet (or lamb, chicken, beef) cut into cubes
- 300 g baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch carrots, trimmed
- 300 ml water (approximately)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 brown onions, quartered
- 410 g can whole peeled tomatoes
- 410 g can mushrooms in butter sauce
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp cornflour, mixed with a little water to make a slurry
- Salt and pepper
- Damper or crusty bread, to serve
Process
- Heat a pot over high heat for few minutes then add the kangaroo.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes to sear the meat, before adding the potatoes and carrots. Stir to coat. Reduce heat.
- Pour over just enough water to cover, then add the garlic, onions and tomato. Stir to combine and coat evenly. Simmer for 5 minutes before adding the mushrooms, tomato paste and cornflour mixture. Stir well.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid and cook for about an hour or until the meat is tender.
- Serve with crusty bread or damper.
Tips
- The stew can be stored and frozen for later use. Leave to cool completely then pop in a freezer-proof container. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Chopping the vegetables really small and adding them into the dish is a great way to have a balanced meal with the family. Use any vegetables available at home.
- If you don’t have meat or choose not to eat meat, you can add kidney beans, chickpeas or lentils.
