Kangaroo Burgers with Sweet Potato Fritters

Ingredients

For the Kangaroo Burgers:

• 400 g ground kangaroo meat
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 small brown onion (peeled and finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 red chili (long, seeded, and finely chopped)
• 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 bunch of coriander (roughly chopped)
• Sea salt

For the Sweet Potato Fritters:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (or ghee or butter)
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• Sea salt
• Black pepper

Garnish:

• Arugula
• Tomato slice
• 1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

For the Burgers:

1. In a large bowl, mix the ground kangaroo meat, chopped onion, garlic, chili, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into burger patties.
3. Heat a little coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the kangaroo burgers for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and golden on the outside. Be careful not to overcook, as kangaroo meat is lean and can dry out quickly.
4. Set the burgers aside and keep them warm.

For the Sweet Potato Fritters:

1. In another bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, egg yolk, flour, cumin, salt, and pepper until you get a homogeneous mixture.
2. Heat some coconut oil in another pan over medium heat. Drop small portions of the sweet potato mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form fritters.
3. Cook the fritters for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and fully cooked. If necessary, cook them in batches depending on the size of your pan.

Assembling the Burgers:

1. On each sweet potato fritter, place a cooked tomato slice.
2. Add a cooked kangaroo burger.
3. Top with diced avocado and arugula.
4. Cover with another sweet potato fritter to form the burger.
