On a bed of green leaves lies a salad of baby potatoes smothered in a creamy mayo mix, dotted with fresh parsley. This side sits next to tender ostrich chunks, pan-fried, basted with BBQ sauce and topped with oozy melted cheddar & mozzarella. It’s the best of BBQ on a plate, Chef!

OSTRICH PREP
Pat the ostrich chunks dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Set aside.
SOFT POTATO
Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl.
BBQ OSTRICH
When the potatoes have 5-10 minutes remaining, place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30-60 seconds, baste the ostrich with the BBQ sauce. Sprinkle over the grated cheese, cover with the lid, and remove from the heat. Leave the lid on until the cheese is melted.
WARM POTATO SALAD
To a salad bowl, add the creamy mayo. Mix through ¾ of the chopped parsley, the cooked potatoes, and seasoning.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the shredded salad leaves and top with the creamy warm potato salad. Serve alongside the BBQ cheddar ostrich. Garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining parsley. Well done, Chef!
