Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Kangaroo meat — Kangaroo meat is lean and can become tough if overcooked. It is best to cook it quickly over high heat to maintain its tenderness.
  • Emu sausage — Emu sausage has a rich flavor and can be quite salty. Adjust the seasoning accordingly when adding it to the pizza.

Tips & Tricks

  • If kangaroo meat or emu sausage is not available, you can substitute them with lean beef or chicken sausage.
  • Experiment with different native herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of the pizza.
  • For an extra smoky flavor, grill the capsicum before adding it to the pizza.

Serving advice

Serve the Australian Bush Pizza hot, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a side of fresh salad greens dressed with a light vinaigrette.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with additional chopped macadamia nuts and a sprinkle of bush mint leaves. The vibrant colors of the roasted capsicum and native herbs will make the pizza visually appealing.
