Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. Mix 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, 1 tbsp crushed native pepperberry, 2 tsp sea salt, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp chopped rosemary with 3 tbsp olive oil to form a spice paste.
Step 2: Rub the spice mixture all over the 3 lbs kangaroo shoulder roast, coating evenly. Let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Place the roast in a roasting pan with 1 cup water at the bottom to maintain moisture. Cover tightly with foil.
Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 3.5 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Step 5: Remove roast from oven, let rest covered for 15 minutes, then slice or shred and serve with pan juices.
