COOK THE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
TOASTED 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.
MUSHROOMS & ONIONS
Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced onion, and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
BALSAMIC MARMALADE
Add the grated garlic to the pan and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Pour in the marmalade sauce and add 10ml of sweetener. Simmer until the mushrooms are coated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, season, and cover.
FRY THE OSTRICH
Place a clean pan over 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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FRESH SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss together the rinsed green leaves, ½ the toasted almonds, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the fluffy rice and the ostrich slices & top with the mushroom marmalade. Sprinkle over the remaining almonds. Side with the sun-dried tomato salad. Well done, Chef!
