Tataki of ostrich with tomato and pepper sorbet

Serves: 6 – 8
Cooking Time: 10 mins excluding freezing and marinating time

Ingredients

  • SORBET
  • 6 medium-sized, very ripe tomatoes
  • 200ml tomato juice
  • salt and white pepper, to taste
  • Tabasco, to taste
  • 30ml castor sugar
  • 20ml lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • MARINADE
  • 60ml soy sauce
  • 60ml mirin
  • 5ml fresh origanum, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 5ml fresh ginger, grated
  • 10ml castor sugar
  • 300g ostrich fillet

Instructions

1

For the sorbet, purée the tomatoes with skin, seeds and all, in a blender. Add the tomato juice, salt, pepper, Tabasco, sugar, lemon juice and zest.

2

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream churner and churn. If you do not have a churner, place the mixture in a container and freeze.

3

To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients and mix well.

4

Trim the fillet and place it in a freezer bag. Add the marinade to the bag and leave it to stand for 4 – 6 hours.

5

Remove the fillet from the marinade and roll in plastic wrap before freezing. This makes it easier to slice.

6

To serve, slice the fillet thinly and serve with a scoop of sorbet, and a crispy baby leaf salad.
