INGREDIENTS
- 2 small beetroots, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup (80ml) olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 small onion
- 600g kangaroo mince
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander

METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180C. Place beetroot on a baking tray, brush with 2 tbs oil and season with salt. Bake, turning halfway, for 15 minutes or until just crisp.
- For the kofta, grate the onion and drain on paper towel to remove excess liquid. Combine the onion, kangaroo mince, cumin, coriander, mint and 1 tsp pepper-berry in a bowl, then season with salt. Use your hands to mix well. Roll heaped tablespoonful's of the mince into 12 even-sized logs, then flatten slightly, cover and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Heat a chargrill or frypan over medium heat. Brush koftas with remaining 2 tbs oil and cook, turning, for 7 minutes until browned or cooked to your liking.
- Place the warrigal greens in a saucepan of simmering salted water and cook for 1 minute or until just wilted, then drain.
- Mix the black pepper with the remaining 1 tsp pepper-berry.
- For the salad, combine the warrigal greens, parsley and mint, and divide among 4 plates. Top with beetroot, feta and kofta, then sprinkle with pepper mixture, drizzle with extra oil and serve with lemon wedges.
