ostrich ?

[mrbishi]

Hey guys

Been using a lot of ostrich fillet in my kitchen..... but there is always a question that bugs me...
ostrich is a red meat but it is classified under poultry ,
would you use a poultry stock or a meat stock when making a sauce for your dish?
I love to hear if anybody has any advice

thanks

As it would be considered a game bird, probably duck
stock would be the best match, veal stock or demi a
second choice.

Despite how it's classified, I always think of ostrich--for cooking purposes---as beef. So I would use a meat stock for sauces.

agree to all, based on its richness

Hi

Ive alwayse paired it with a beef stock based sauce.

You might find this interesting or not.
I love the flavour of wild game (I'm South African) which can be very expensive in the Uk where i now live. So I marinate beef fillet in Gin and soya sauce (just a splash of soya, more to colour) and when i fancy a taste of home i slap it on the barbeque (braai). Hey presto ostrich.
