  1. CHOP-CHOP!

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. FLUFFY COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  3. FOR THE FRESHNESS

    Rinse, pick and finely chop the mixed fresh herbs. Set aside.

  4. BLUEBERRY & WINE SAUCE

    To a small saucepan, add the blueberries, the red wine sauce, a sweetener, and the grated garlic. Using a potato masher or fork, lightly crush the blueberries to break their skins. Place over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the sour cream. Cover and set aside.

  5. BUTTER-BASTED OSTRICH

    Return the pan to 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 and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. ADD SOME COLOUR

    To the bowl of cooked couscous, toss through the diced tomato, the diced cucumber, ½ the chopped herbs, and ½ the toasted nuts. Season and set aside.

  7. WHAT A GREAT PLATE!

    Plate up the loaded couscous, top with the ostrich slices, and drizzle with any reserved pan juices. Drizzle over the creamy blueberry sauce. Garnish with the remaining nuts and the remaining herbs.
