Week 10 - Animal=Ostrich
John's Butcher Shoppe up near St. Charles Rock Road carries ground ostrich and ground elk. Sadly the elk was absent during my last visit. Try as he like, ostrich was unable to escape the all seeing grill eye.
Ground meat is ground meat and really the most likely solution is a burger.
Ostrich was seasoned with black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. The meat was shaped into patties and grilled over direct heat for about 4 minutes a side. The burgers were topped with colby/jack cheese during the last two minutes of grilling. The Spouse said that they were edible and better than the frog legs and rabbit. The Boy took a few small bites so he gets credit for this one.
Non-Meats
Baked potato spears - Potatoes were microwaved for approximately 8 minutes. They were allowed to cool and then were sliced into spears. A mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder was brushed on the potato spears. They were grilled over direct heat for 4 minutes a side.
This week was successful. Thinking ahead...
