Ostrich neck stew with savoury samp

Serves: 4

Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium onions, quartered
30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1kg ostrich neck
250ml (1 cup) beef stock
500ml (2 cups) red wine
1 x 410g tin whole peeled tomatoes
200g baby carrots, peeled
100g Rosa tomatoes
30ml (2 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves
SAVOURY SAMP
30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
1 small red pepper, seeded and cubed
1 small yellow pepper, seeded and cubed
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
750g samp, cooked according to packet instructions

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Place the garlic and onion in a roasting dish and drizzle with 15ml (1 tbsp) of the olive oil.

Season the ostrich neck, place on top of the onions and garlic and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Roast until the meat begins to glaze, about 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and pour over the stock, wine and tomatoes. Cover with a lid or foil and return to the oven. Decrease the temperature to 180°C and roast for a further 2 hours. Remove the dish from the oven, add the carrots, tomatoes and thyme and roast uncovered for a further 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.

For the samp, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the vegetables. Gently fry until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 – 5 minutes. Mix with the cooked samp and serve with the stew.
