I would like to hear Akmal's recollections of the french revolution.:p

I would love to see what he says about his stint in this show ... he may be in here for just that reason alone?... imagine how many years of material he would have out of this?... lol!... he's not silly is he? ;):whistling::biggrin:... cheers.
 
Ostrich Neck???? Really????? REALLY???

That is disgusting....and boiling it would only make it tougher...It need to be roasted to a crisp and then torn apart with their hands.

How to cook Ostrich Neck

Instructions
Dutch Oven Instructions (much quicker)
  1. To start you will need 2 kg of ostrich neck. You will notice that ostrich has very little fat, so we’re going to add fat in the form of streaky bacon and butter.
  2. Add the salt and cracked black pepper to the flour and dredge the ostrich meat in this.
  3. Heat your dutch oven over medium high heat, add the butter and fry the bacon for 5 minutes until it is starting to brown and the fat is well rendered.
  4. Add the ostrich meat and fry this for 15 to 20 minutes until well browned, stirring the meat every minute.
  5. Add the baby onions, carrots, celery, leeks and garlic and stir this in.
  6. In a jug combine the chilli sauce, honey, corn flour, stock powder, tinned whole peeled tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. Pour this into the pot.
  7. Pour in the red wine and place the lid on the pot.
  8. Transfer the dutch oven to a preheated oven at 140c or 275f and allow this to cook for 3 hours undisturbed.
  9. Remove the dutch oven from the oven. Dissolve 3 tbs of cornflour in a little water and add this to the pot. Stir this in well and return the dutch oven to the oven for a final 30 minutes.
  10. After the final 30 minutes, transfer the stew to serving platters and serve with the accompaniments of your choice.

Sounds nice, I would have gone with a slow cooking method too. I think that's part of the challenge for the celebs, working out how to cook the foods they win, not just the initial stage of winning them. I wouldn't have a clue what ostrich tastes like having never eaten emu, so all I would have to go on is that it's a neck and that neck meat is generally tougher and needs a gentle, slower cooking method.

Maybe they were looking for a quick cook method, being so hungry and all? Doubt they have bacon and butter - wonder if they have seasoning?

If they had realised that it needed a long cooking time they could have gone to bed hungry and had an awesome meal for breakfast :)

Like the Lamb Vindaloo I slow cooked for 7 hours today - YUMMO :)

Hahahaha good on ya Medusa for posting this recipe :thumbsup:

Sounds delish :hungry:(not)

Princess Laurina did a good job with the tucker trial. Definitely redeemed herself after Tuesday's epic fail on her part to give the food challenge a go.
