CRISPY CHICKPEAS
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained chickpeas for 10-12 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour. For the best results, only shift occasionally. If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in!
RAVISHING RATATOUILLE
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the pepper pieces, grated garlic and the diced onion. Fry for 4-5 minutes until softened slightly, shifting occasionally. Add the baby marrow chunks and fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Pour in the passata, and 50ml of water. Mix until fully combined. Leave to simmer for 6-7 minutes, until the veggies are cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, cover to keep warm, and season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice (to taste).
SIZZLING STEAKS
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) In the final 1-2 minutes, use a knob of butter (optional) and the rub to baste the steak. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
FINISH UP
Dish up a hearty helping of the saucy ratatouille. Top with the chopped olives and crispy chickpeas. Garnish with the freshly torn basil and dig in, Chef!
