RECIPES
We have been asked many times for recipes of dishes that we serve. Here are some of our favourite recipes. They are all traditional dishes and the recipes are the “real thing” (or as we would say, die ware Jakob)!
How To Prepare Ostrich Fillet:
Take fresh, good quality ostrich fillet and let it marinade in Worcester sauce or buttermilk. If the fire is ready, wash off excess buttermilk or Worcester sauce and put on warm coals (fire). Quickly seal the fillet both sides and then brush with garlic butter or olive oil and sprinkle aromat (seasoned salt) over both sides.
Continue turning the fillet and spreading butter or olive oil over it until it is cooked well done, medium or rare. We prefer medium or medium-rare as ostrich contains almost no fat and could become very dry if cooked for too long.
