AMAZING ALMONDS
Place the chopped almonds in a pot (large enough for the carrots) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.
CAN’T BEET THIS
Pat the grated beetroot dry with paper towel. Place in a bowl along with the apple matchsticks, the vinegar, a sweetener (to taste), the sliced chilli (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
MAKE THE CUMIN VEG
Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, a knob of butter, and the cumin. When hot, add the carrot wedges and beetroot pieces. Fry until slightly softened and starting to brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in a splash of warm water, cover, and simmer until the carrot wedges are soft, 5-8 minutes.
OSTENTATIOUS OSTRICH
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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning. Reserve the pan juices.
ONE LAST STEP…
When the carrot and beetroot are cooked, add to the bowl with the toasted almonds. Add the rinsed green leaves and seasoning. Mix until combined.
DRESS THE MEAL FOR DINNER
Plate up the ostrich steak slices and drizzle over the reserved pan juices. Side with the carrot salad and the beetroot-apple slaw. Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the salad. Well done, Chef!
