Instructions

1. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1.
3. Add kangaroo mince to the bowl. Cook 8 min / 120°C / Reverse / Speed 1, using the spatula to break up the mince if necessary.
4. Add diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir gently with the spatula.
5. Cook 20 min / 98°C / Reverse / Speed 1. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow for evaporation and prevent splatter.

7. Add the undrained canned baked beans to the bowl. Cook 5 min / 90°C / Reverse / Speed 1.
8. Gently add the shucked oysters to the stew. Cook 2 min / 90°C / Reverse / Speed 1 to just warm them through.
