Give your barbecued kebabs an Aussie twist with roo meat, then marinate them Viet-style and roll in peanuts and sesame seeds to serve. Yum!

Ingredients

300g chicken thigh fillets

300g kangaroo loin

12 cloves garlic

2 sticks lemongrass, chopped

6cm piece fresh ginger

4 kaffir lime leaves, torn

1 tsp cardamom seeds

3/4 cup palm sugar

1/2 cup fish sauce

1/4 cup coconut vinegar

1/2 cup toasted peanuts, chopped

1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

1/4 cup black sesame seeds

Shredded wombok, mayonnaise, chilli sauce, sliced green shallots and baguette (optional), to serve

Method

  1. Cut chicken and kangaroo into even-sized pieces. Combine garlic, lemongrass, ginger, lime leaves and cardamom seeds in a mortar and pound until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the palm sugar and continue pounding. Mix with remaining sugar, fish sauce and vinegar, then strain through a fine sieve. Pour 1/4 marinade over mixed meats in a shallow bowl and chill, covered, for 1 hour.

  2. Pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Continue boiling until very sticky. Set aside.

  3. Thread kangaroo and chicken, alternating meats, onto skewers. Grill on a hot barbecue for 10 minutes, turning, until firm to touch.

  4. Mix peanuts and seeds in a shallow tray. Brush skewers with reduced marinade, then roll in peanut mixture. Serve with wombok, mayonnaise, chilli sauce, shallots and baguette, if using.
