CAJUN POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the 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 chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRACK ON WITH THE CRANBERRIES
While the potato is roasting, roughly chop the dried cranberries. Rinse and roughly chop the coriander. Rinse, trim, and peel the carrot into ribbons. Rinse and finely slice the chives. Rinse and finely shred the salad leaves.
COMBINE TO MAKE IT SHINE
In a bowl, combine the shredded leaves, the sliced chives, the creamy mayo, ½ the chopped coriander, ½ the chopped cranberries, the carrot ribbons, 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 potatoes. Side with the ostrich slices and the creamy salad. Sprinkle over the remaining cranberries, the toasted almonds, and the remaining coriander. Dig in, Chef!
