Made using ostrich mince, new Woolworths ostrich frikkadels are tender, meaty and full of character. The ostriches are reared by South African farmers who prioritise animal welfare and never use routine antibiotics or growth stimulants – a difference you can taste. Choose between Italian inspired ostrich frikkadels with sundried tomato pieces and Italian-inspired seasoning and ostrich frikkadels in caul fat – rich, juicy and ideal for roasting or braaiing. If you love skilpadjies, you’ll want to try these on the coals – they get beautifully crisp on the outside while staying succulent inside.

Both are full of flavour, fuss-free to cook, and ready to star in your next easy dinner or laid-back get-together.

Ostrich frikkadel subs

Comfort food meets dinner-party flair in these ostrich Italian-inspired frikkadel subs. The frikkadels are pan-fried for a golden crust, then simmered in a rich, garlicky tomato sauce, and topped with melted mozzarella and fresh herbs to take them over the top. Tucked into mini white loaves and finished under the grill, they’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Serve with a fresh salad or salted potato crisps for an easy meal.

Ostrich frikkadel traybake

This hearty traybake brings big flavour with minimal effort. Caul fat-wrapped ostrich frikkadels are roasted until golden, and nestled into a medley of chickpeas, pickled peppers, sundried tomatoes, olives and garlic. It’s all seasoned with smoky paprika, za’atar and olive oil, creating a richly spiced base. The creamy tahini yoghurt and herby basil mayo topping take it over the top – perfect for sharing, scooping or serving with warm flatbreads.
