Ingredients
- 500g kangaroo meat, cut into 2.5cm cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Kangaroo Meat: Add kangaroo meat cubes to the marinade. Ensure each piece is coated thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably longer for more flavor absorption.
Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated kangaroo meat alternately with red onion slices and bell pepper onto the skewers.
Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill Kebabs: Place kebabs on the grill, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the meat is cooked through but still juicy. Adjust time based on thickness of meat cubes.
Serve Hot: Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
