GREEN,healthy and local is lekker

GREEN, healthy and local is lekker
Being on a health kick this year I have tried to cut down on red meat and eat more fish and chicken, but being a meat eater I still like to have a good steak every now and then. I have recently started eating KLEIN KAROO ostrich and it is delicious. It’s low in fat, lower in cholesterol then other red meats and free of hormones and growth stimulants.
It is farmed in the Klein Karoo so it is nice and local, they have a vibrant green packaging which makes you want to choose it or at least notice it, it’s endorsed by the heart foundation and certified halaal meat and it’s suitable to freeze.
Even though it’s a bird you serve it medium rare therefore you seal it in a really smoking hot pan to seal in the flavor and then just cook for 3-4 minutes depending on the thickness and your desired cooking.
The KLEIN KAROO range also includes mince which I have made spaghetti bolognaise with and it’s fantastic, the lean burger patties which braaied and place onto a warm roll is good, goulash which is great for stews but I have eaten in a yellow rice and it was amazing.
