Time:< 30 mins

"Australian cuisine should have kangaroo," says chef Jean-Paul Bruneteau, from Deep Blue Bistro in Coogee. "We shouldn't be afraid of kangaroo. It belongs on a restaurant table, it certainly belongs on an Australian table. I've always had it on my menu and it's always been the biggest seller."

Ingredients

1 tbsp native pepper leaf (ground)
1 tbsp salt
1 kg kangaroo loin fillet
400g sliced prosciutto
Oil for grilling

Method

Combine the pepper leaf and salt then set aside. Cut kangaroo loin into 3cm pieces and cut prosciutto in half. Season kangaroo with pepper leaf and salt and then wrap the prosciutto slices around the kangaroo. Secure with a toothpick and lightly brush with oil. Grill on a barbecue until medium and serve as finger food.
