  1. UN-BEET-ABLE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces and the carrot chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the grated garlic, ½ the thyme sprigs, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Remove the sprigs before serving.

  2. PUT THE CAN IN PE-CAN

    Place the chopped pecan nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. While the nuts are toasting, loosen the chimichurri with water in 5 ml increments until drizzle consistency.

  3. SEARED OSTRICH

    Place a 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.

  4. CRUNCHY & CREAMY SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the diced apple, the shredded leaves, ½ the toasted nuts, the crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  5. FROM THE O TO THE YUM!

    Plate up the roasted veggies, and scatter over the remaining toasted nuts. Side with the sliced ostrich and the fresh apple salad, and drizzle over the chimichurri. Enjoy, Chef!
