I SEE, HALF-MOONS ARISIN’
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
YES, ALL OF THE ALMONDS
Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
DILL-ICIOUS DINNER IN THE MAKING
Rinse and finely chop the dill. Cut the baby tomatoes into quarters. Drain and halve the artichoke quarters. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, ½ the chopped dill, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
LET’S MULTI-TASK
When the sweet potato has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30 seconds, baste in a knob of butter, the NOMU rub, and the grated garlic. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
LOAD UP THE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine a sweetener, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Just before serving, toss through the shredded salad leaves, the tomato quarters, the halved artichokes, the cooked ostrich, the drained capers, the roasted sweet potato, and the remaining dill.
PITA PARTY
Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium heat. When hot, toast the pita until heated through, 30-60 seconds per side. Cut into quarters.
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
Plate up the loaded ostrich salad. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds. Drizzle over ½ the dill yoghurt and serve the remaining yoghurt on the side. Serve with the pita quarters for dunking. Time to dine, Chef!
