OSTRICH
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, fry the diced onion (to taste) and the corn until turning golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in 100ml of water and simmer until slightly thickening, 6-8 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, mix in the rinsed beans and the browned ostrich until warmed through. Remove from the heat and mix in the sour cream and the sun-dried tomatoes. Loosen with a splash of water if it’s too thick and season.
ROTIS
Place the rotis on a plate and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds. Alternatively, place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the rotis until heated through, 30-60 seconds per side.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the creamy ostrich, scatter over the nuts, and serve alongside the rotis. Easy, Chef!
