Looking for a great beef alternative? Don't hide your head in the sand when it comes to Ostrich. Ostrich is a phenomenal "Red Meat". It offers a lean alternative to beef and has a close resemblance in appearance and flavor. Ostrich does, however, have a depth of flavor that surpasses those resemblances. Ostrich has become a very popular protein in the United States and is welcomed to those cutting down on richer meats. It shares a lean quality found in other birds, but blows them away in heartiness. Ostrich holds a multitude of applications. From rare grilled filet to smoked sirloin, the Ostrich is a bird that is more than just the word. Put a big bird on the board and your guests will be impressed.
Rich and Supple with a unique flavor and umami
Generally small framed and have lower growth rates, but the meat quality, in regards to marbling grade and tenderness, is excellent.
Moist, Tender, Succulent
Suckling lamb (aka sucking lamb, milk-fed lamb, cordero lechal) is a highly prized delicacy in Spain, France, and Italy. Most often slow roasted on the bone, suckling lamb meat is particularly moist, tender & succulent, with a mild flavor. It’s particularly associated with spring in Europe – especially Easter banquets, but is delicious year round. These whole lambs are sold cut into eight sections in the Spanish style. New potatoes are the most traditional side dish for roast suckling lamb. Try sauteing or roasting them in some of the rendered lamb fat!
