FRAGRANT BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the Moroccan Rub to taste and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Stir through the bulgur wheat and remove from the heat. Pour in 200ml of boiling water and give another stir. Pop on a lid and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until the bulgur is cooked and tender.
WHIP UP YOUR DRIZZLE & LEAVES
In a small bowl, combine the hummus with ¾ of the chopped parsley and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Toss the rinsed green leaves with some olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, and set aside for serving.
SIZZLING STEAK
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry for 6-8 minutes, shifting and turning until browned all over and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the Mexican spice blend. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
TOSS IT ALL TOGETHER
Once the bulgur wheat is cooked, fluff up with a fork and gently toss through the chopped pickled peppers and dates. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
A FUSION FLAVOUR BURST
Make a bed of leaves and spoon over the Moroccan-style bulgur wheat. Top with the Mexican-spiced ostrich slices, drizzle over the tangy hummus, and garnish with the remaining parsley. Get ready to munch, Chef!
