RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary), and cover.
PREP STEP
Trim, peel, and cut the carrot into bite-sized pieces. Peel and grate the garlic clove. Drain and roughly slice the pickled bell peppers. Peel and roughly chop ½ the onion.
BROWN THE MEAT
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich chunks dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
START THE SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the carrot pieces and the diced onion until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).
BEAUTIFUL STEW
When the garlic is fragrant, add the tomato passata, the stock, and 150ml of boiling water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 10-12 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the browned ostrich, the sliced pickled peppers, the halved olives, and the shredded spinach. Add a sweetener and season.
