Everyone, loves a plate of pasta, and today I have a plate of pasta for you, which is both easy to make, but also suitable for dinner parties.   A plate of fresh buttered pasta (made the traditional way with a bronze die), with slices of ostrich steak covered with a tart berry sauce.   Delicious!Fresh pasta tossed in butter topped with ostrich steaks and a red wine red berry sauce. Perfect for a dinner party, but quick enough for a mid week supper.

Once defrosted the ostrich takes about 4 minutes to cook (slightly overcooked for our taste here), the pasta takes 60 seconds, and the sauce another 3 minutes.   You really can have supper in a flash.

    Oh wow.. I have to say, I’m not big on meat other than seafood, but anytime I see a meat that’s unusual I need to try it (like alligator, shark etc). Ostrich is on my list- but I’ve never ever seen it here! Not even in huge international markets. If I ever find it, now I’ll know what to do with it haha. This sounds amazing!

      It is very similar to venison. Lightly gamey and very lean.

    I haven’t tried the Ostrich Steaks but their Kargaroo Sausages are on my meal plan for this week. Iceland have really upped their game with the contents of their freezers of late.

    This is interesting and nothing like anything I’ve seen before! I’m pescetarian now, but I do remember my Mom obtaining ostrich meatballs when I was young and feeding them to us for dinner without mentioning the fact that it was ostrich until AFTER dinner. Haha. I don’t remember how they were, but we all ate them without any issues!

    Osterich, how different and interesting, something I have never tried. I often wonder if it tastes anything like emu.

    Wow, Iceland… That really is a blast from the past, the Ice Lolly section was where I would usually be found as a child :D I’ve only ever tried ostrich as a burger and never as a steak but the texture looks fantastic.

      You would not recognise Iceland these days Brian. Amazing discoveries at every turn.

    Wow! I’m not sure I’d even know where to purchase Ostrich meat here where I am (Rhode Island in US)! But this looks great and sounds like it would be a nice exotic meal to switch things up.

    I have had ostrich fillets at restaurants a couple of times, and loved them! I am guessing the Iceland products are not available in the U.S. (I went to their website), but I will keep an eye out for similar. I would love to be able to make this recipe!

    Oh wow I didn’t know that ostrich meat was available like that in packets! I have tried it once at a food fair and can’t say it tasted that different from other meat to me. In the pictures it just looks like beef or pork! Love the mix of flavours in this dish though so I’d definitely give it a go :)

    Reply
    • Helen

      Most of the flavour is in the fat, so lean meats do tend to be more delicate.
