FLUFFY QUINOA
Rinse the quinoa, and place it in a pot. Submerge it with 200ml of water, and ½ of the vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer for 13-18 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and the tails have popped out. Add more water if required, and drain on completion if necessary. Return to the pot, cover with a lid and let it stand for 5 minutes. Season to taste.
SOME PREP
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, combine the baby tomatoes, ½ the spring onion and red wine vinegar, and season to taste. Dilute the remaining vegetable stock with 30ml of boiling water. Loosen the pesto-yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
FRY THE MINCE
Place a pan (large enough for the mince and beans) over a medium heat with some oil. When hot, fry the onion for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the Mexican Rub (to taste) and fry for a further 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Turn up the heat and add the mince, working quickly to break it up. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the diluted stock, black beans and corn, mixing well to combine. Season to taste.
PLATE UP
Plate up some fluffy quinoa. Top with the protein-packed ostrich mince, the simple salsa, the remaining spring onion slices and drizzle over the pesto-yoghurt. Well done, Chef!
