Finely dice the onion and garlic. Dice the carrot and broccoli into small equal sized pieces
Remove the peas from the freezer and set aside
Preheat a large pan over a medium – high heat and add in the cooking oil/fat
Once hot add the onions and garlic and saute until soft
Next add in the carrots and broccoli cooking for 1 minute
Add the kangaroo mince and cook until completely coloured
Pour in the peas, diced tomatoes, tamari and honey and bring up to a simmer – reduce to a gentle simmer over a low heat
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees ready to bake
While waiting for the mince to reduce, peel and wash the potatoes. Chop them into equal sized pieces and steam until soft
Once soft, mash the potatoes while hot into a bowl with the egg yolk, parmesan cheese and butter. Salt to taste if appropriate
Remove two tablesoons of liquid from the mince mixture and mix that into a cup with the tapioca starch until all lumps are mixed out. Pour into the mince mixture to help thicken
Season the mince with salt and pepper and once it has reduced, spoon it into an oven proof dish and top with the potato mash
Bake until slightly crispy on top
If serving with the potato contains egg and dairy (but both can be omitted)
Age appropriate: 2+ meals a day. May have to puree the mince for younger babies until pincer grip is developed.
