BEGIN WITH BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN ONION & CHARRED CORN
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the corn and fry until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season, remove from the pan, and set aside.
BUTTER-BASTED OSTRICH
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub.
ZESTY DRESSING
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice with ½ the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
