- 2 x kiwis,
- 12 x dates: natural
- 100g of cashew nuts

Season the kangaroo meat with salt and pepper to taste. While frying the meat until medium fried, finely chop fifty grams of the nuts and four dates.
Take the meat out of the pan and keep it warm. Put the chopped nuts and dates into the pan. They should gently brown before the brown stock and kiwi chutney are added.
Allow everything to cook through and finish with a dash of cream.
