Burgers from down under
These burgers aren't made from beef, but from kangaroo. Yes, you read right - kangaroo burgers. Kangaroo meat tastes a little bit like beef, but more gamey. It's hard to describe, I guess you'll just have to try it.
Ingredients
Serves: 8
- 900g minced kangaroo meat
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs or as needed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 sandwich rolls or burger buns, split

- Mix the kangaroo, onion, caraway seed, thyme, egg and lemon zest together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. If mixture is too wet and sticky add breadcrumbs. Shape the mixture into 8 balls and flatten.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat; cook the burgers in the hot oil until the burgers are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 70 degrees C. Serve the burgers on the split buns with lettuce and tomato.

I made these with venison (deer meat) and the family liked them cooked on the bbq outside. I left out the caraway seed because I cannot stomach it. - 22 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
