does any one have any recipes for ground ostrich for a pre contest plan????

I find pre contest that plain and simple is best. I mix it into veggies hot w/ salt and pepper and cold onto salad w/ a mustard /splenda dressing. Add it to egg whites to in the morn w/ mushrooms. You can make a burger w/ egg white choped mushroom and peppers spices of choice. That is good too. Best way to cook ostrich is covered so that the steam keeps the meat moist. What I like about ostrich over beef is that it does not have to be well done.

thanks Les! I was thinking of trying a meat loaf. I found low carb. soy flour based bread crumbs. i will let you know how it turns out!

Where do you get ostrich meat and if you had to describe the flavor what would it be comparable to??

www.blackwing.com

Tell 'em DeWayde Perry sent you.

FitDoc you must order a lot from them eh???

Thanks for the info. will check it out

FitDoc any recommendations on the cut? Also have you tried the Bison? I had it once on vacation in Vermont and it was awesome.

I tried Ostrich once but perhaps I didn't cook it properly it had kind of an off taste....

Thanks again,
Kim

PS what kind of DR are you/your specialty?

I find ostrich and buffalo to be similar. I get then both ground, usually do them as burgers b/c they are easier to weigh. They are comparable to beef, just a richer flavor, w/o the fat. they have about 2g of fat per 3oz serving.

Sorry KimBot, i'm just now reading your response from 30 july. I'm a general and trauma surgeon in group practice in ohio.

As far as buffalo (bison), i order it from blackwing. However, i found a ranch in denver, colorado from which i will begin ordering my bison. Their bison are grass fed and the ranchers specialize in shipping to individuals. The site is www.buffalogroves.com

I guess I may be lucky. I get elk, buffalo, salmon and "meat" from a nearby reservation. This past weekend, I was invited to a "Feast Day" where I was served...Bear.
