Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 500 g kangaroo mince with 1 finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp native pepperberry powder, 1 tsp dried lemon myrtle, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Step 3: Roll out the 2 puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles.
4. Step 4: Divide the spiced mince mixture evenly among the rectangles, shaping it into a log along one edge of each pastry piece.
5. Step 5: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg, then roll over the filling to enclose it, pressing to seal the edges and trimming excess pastry if needed.
6. Step 6: Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is cooked through with juices running clear.
8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
