Here is an interesting twist on lasagna! If you can find kangaroo minced meat, this recipe will wow your guests. One thing to keep in mind,  kangaroo meat is regarded a very lean meat, if overcooked it can easily dry out and become tough to eat. To prevent this make sure you marinate before cooking, only cook to medium rare and when serving make sure you cut against the grain for maximum tenderness.
