Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound sweetbreads
1 gallon court bouillon
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
8 fresh salsify roots
1 cup heavy cream, heated
1/2 pound butter, melted and warm
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup heavy cream, heated
1/4 pound butter, melted and warm
4 Roma tomatoes
2 to 3 extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound butter, divided
3 shallots, sliced
3 cup Medoc wine
1 quart veal stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 (8-ounce) ostrich steaks
Cooked spinach, for serving
Blanched asparagus, for serving
Sauteed enoki mushrooms, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring court bouillon to a simmer in a saucepan. Add sweetbreads and poach for approximately 9 minutes. Remove sweetbreads and discard liquid. Press sweetbreads between 2 sheet trays until completely cool. Peel membranes and separate into bite-size
  • pieces.
  • Just before serving, dust sweetbreads with flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, add sweetbreads, and sear until crispy. Add lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, bring several inches of water and the lemon juice to a simmer. Peel salsify and add to acidulated water; simmer until very tender. Strain and then transfer salsify to the bowl of a food processor. Add cream and melted butter and puree until smooth. The consistency should be more like a sauce than a puree. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, simmer potatoes in water until tender. Strain and then put potatoes through a potato ricer. In a medium bowl, whip potatoes potatoes with hot cream and butter. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes with olive oil. Arrange tomato slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Set aside.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Add shallots and saute until beginning to brown. Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook until wine is reduced to a syrup. Add veal stock and reduce until sauce consistency. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, and swirl to combine. Keep warm.
  • Melt oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season ostrich with salt and pepper. When pan is hot, add ostrich and sear on both sides until cooked to a medium doneness; it will not take long, as ostrich cooks very quickly and is not good when over-cooked. Reserve and keep warm. It may be necessary to sear the ostrich in 2 batches, so as not to over-crowd the pan.
  • To serve, layer potatoes with spinach and tomatoes in a 2-inch ring mold. Place a pretty oval of potato on top with another dried tomato. Spoon a thin line of salsify puree onto the plate. Slice the ostrich on a sharp bias and place it next to the potato stack. Garnish with sweetbreads, asparagus, and enoki mushrooms. Drizzle Medoc reduction around the plate.

ROAST OSTRICH



Roast Ostrich image

One of my Cousins, Duane, and my Great Auntie Elsa used to have an ostrich ranch here in Alberta, Canada. I had ostrich on more than 1 occasion and really enjoyed it, but people just couldn't grasp eating this exotic bird so the ranch is no longer. I dug for this Australian recipe and I really hope that you enjoy it. Ostrich is a red meat that is very low in fat (lower than white chicken meat I've been told) but high in a flavour that is not "strange" or gamey at all. You can substitute a beef roast because I know many people might have a hard time finding ostrich. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender ostrich meat: Look for meat that is bright red in color and has a slight gamey smell. Avoid meat that is brown or has a strong odor.
  • Marinate the ostrich meat: Marinating the meat helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt, as well as herbs and spices.
  • Cook the ostrich meat to the proper temperature: Ostrich meat is best cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooking can make the meat tough and dry.
  • Let the ostrich meat rest before carving: Allowing the meat to rest before carving helps to redistribute the juices and prevent them from running out.
  • Serve the ostrich meat with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can help to enhance the taste of the ostrich meat. Try serving it with a red wine sauce, a mushroom sauce, or a horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Ostrich meat is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional meats such as beef, pork, and chicken. It is lean and low in fat, and it has a slightly gamey flavor that is similar to venison. Ostrich meat can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, and braising. With its unique flavor and versatility, ostrich meat is a great choice for any meal.
