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

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

2

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

3

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.

4

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.
