Ostrich Filet in Red Wine Sauce...served with steamed tatsoi and sauteed purple potatoes

 I took a trip to the Union Square Farmer's market the other day and bought a variety of interesting produce. I ended up finding some tatsoi, which is sort of a mix between a bok choy and a mustard green. It is a very mild vegetable and a great way to change things up. I found purple potatoes (where the flesh inside is actually purple). I also was able to buy some ostrich. I never made this before but was feeling very adventurous. Ostrich is very healthy as there is hardly any fat on it. It is mildly gamey like a venison, but it has the texture of steak.
