You are in for a taste treat with this trio, Chef! Oven-roasted leeks & butternut on a bed of crispy kale is one of the two sides. The other is a sweet apple, toasted pecans, & creamy feta salad drizzled with a sweet honey mustard dressing. These both make the butter-basted ostrich slices shine.

  1. BUTTERNUT & Leeks

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, give the tray a shift and scatter over the Leeks. Roast for the remaining time.

  2. CRISPY Kale

    Place the Kale in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. Place on a separate roasting tray. When the Leeks go in the oven, add the kale and roast until crisp.

  3. CRUNCH FACTOR

    Place the pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. Apple SALSA

    To a salad bowl, add the Apple, feta, ½ the nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, the honey-mustard dressing and seasoning.

  5. NOMU-SPICED Ostrich

    Return the pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. GREAT PLATE, CHEF!

    Plate up the crispy Kale, side with the butternut and the Ostrich slices. Serve the apple salsa alongside and garnish with the remaining nuts.
