What you'll need
How to cook it
If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes in warm water to ensure they don’t splinter.
- Combine the oregano, coriander seeds, lemon zest, garlic, oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the kangaroo and massage the marinade into the meat.
- Thread six to eight pieces of meat onto each skewer, ensuring there are no gaps. Ideally cover and place in the fridge to marinate overnight, if not marinate for a minimum 30 minutes.
- Heat a BBQ or grill pan over high heat. Cook, turning and basting frequently, for 8–10 minutes until nicely charred but still pink in the centre. Remove and rest.
- Meanwhile, stack the pitas on a plate and cover with cling film. Warm in the microwave.
- To serve, dollop a spoonful of tzatziki into the centre of a pita, add some tomato and onion slices, then slide the hot meat off the skewers and place on top. Sprinkle with a little extra oregano and wrap up.
