Potato FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Potato on a roasting tray. Coat generously in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
Ostrich
When the Potato has 5-10 minutes to go, place a 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 remaining NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, keeping the pan juices, and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BUN
Halve the ciabattini roll/s, and spread butter or oil over the cut-side. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun/s, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
SOME PREP
Loosen the avocado hummus with a splash of water.
O-YUM Ostrich BUN
Smear the hummus on the bottom of the roll/s, top with the green leaves, the Ostrich, and the pan juices. Close the roll/s and serve alongside the potato fries. Enjoy, Chef!
