Method
1. For the marinade, place chilli, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, garlic and lemongrass in a food processor and process until a chunky paste is formed. Add the fish sauce and rice malt syrup and process to a paste. Transfer to a bowl, add the kangaroo fillets and mix to combine. Marinade the kangaroo fillets for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
2. For the sweet potato crackers, preheat oven to 180°C.
3. Place the sweet potato flour in a bowl, pour over the boiling water and mix to combine. Stir in the milk and transfer to a food processor. Add the rice flour, baking powder and butter and until pulse until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a sheet of Multix Greener Baking Paper and place a second sheet on top. Roll to 3mm thick. Cut in half, place on 2 baking trays and remove the top sheet of paper. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and sesame seeds and bake for 12-15 minutes.
5. Remove the marinated roo from the fridge about 20 minutes prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Just before cooking turn the meat in the marinade.
6. Place a large frying pan over a high heat, when hot, add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Leave to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting into 5mm thick slices.
