Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 thinly sliced large onion and sauté for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is golden brown and caramelized.
2. Step 2: Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add 500 grams kangaroo mince, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the mince with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the 2 sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles.
4. Step 4: Spoon the cooled kangaroo mince mixture evenly along the long edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll each rectangle tightly around the filling to form sausage rolls and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
5. Step 5: Place the sausage rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush each with 1 beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove and cool slightly before serving.
