There
appears to be an abundance of game in the shops over the Christmas season here.
Ostrich oddly, being one of them. This is a subtle meat. Far more
subtle than say, venison or even duck. It is sweet and mild and needs
minimal cooking. As with all dark meats some sweet sour element is
necessary for balance (as it is for every single dish in fact). Along
with the sour roast apple and sweet onion puree, the romanesco cauliflour, the beetroot. My
personal improvement on this would be a jus. To balance things out and
pop in some fatty meaty flavour as a sauce. Then we'd be talking
because this dish deserved a damn fine sauce to bring everything
together. It was good. I could have been great.
