Recipe ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) sultana raisins*
  • ½ cup (125 mL) fruity red wine
  • 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil*
  • 2 small ostrich roasts
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) pine nuts
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) balsamic vinegar*
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) raw sugar
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Soak the raisins in the wine. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a frying pan.

Sear the meat over high heat for 2 minutes per side.

Lower the heat to medium-low.

Add the pine nuts, vinegar and sugar. Mix well.

Thoroughly coat the meat with this mixture.

Cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes over medium-low heat, turning the meat often.

Remove the meat. Add the raisins and wine to the pine nut mixture.

Return the meat to the pan; cook for 2 minutes while turning the meat. Season.

Serve the meat with the sauce on preheated serving plates.

Suggestion

Ostrich meat makes for a real treat: the meat is red, with very fine texture and succulent flavour.

Accompaniments:  fiddleheads with garlic and herbed barley stew.

Medium or full-bodied red wine.
