A SWEET DEAL
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
ALL OF THE ALMONDS
Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
COMBINE TO MAKE IT SHINE
In a bowl, combine the carrot ribbons, the rinsed leaves, ½ the chopped coriander, ½ the chopped cranberries, ½ the sliced spring onion, the chipotle flakes (to taste), and seasoning.
SEEK OUT THE STEAK
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak 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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CAJUN CUISINE
Plate up the cajun roasted sweet potato. Side with the ostrich slices and the loaded salad. Sprinkle over the remaining cranberries & spring onion, and the toasted almonds. Drizzle over the creamy mayo. Garnish with the remaining coriander & chipotle flakes. Dig in, Chef!
