Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp ground wattleseed, 1 tsp ground dried pepperberries, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Rub the 2 lbs kangaroo loin all over with 3 tbsp olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice mix. Place in a roasting pan and tuck 2 sprigs fresh rosemary alongside.
- Step 3: In a small saucepan, combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Step 4: Pour half the glaze over the loin. Cover the roasting pan with foil and slow roast for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting with remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove the foil and roast uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to develop a caramelized crust. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly and serving.
