Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

500 g ostrich fillet
Olive oil, for frying
3 red apples, sliced into matchsticks

10 g fresh mint
3 T vino cotto

For the biltong spice, blend

To make the biltong spice, place the pepper and coriander in a pan over a low heat and slowly toast.
