CRISPY LENTILS
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained lentils until golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice. Remove from the pan and season.
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 and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar with 30ml of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and season. Add the halved tomatoes, the rinsed green leaves, the lemony lentils, and the drained piquanté peppers.
DINNER IS READY
Dish up the salad, top with the ostrich slices, and sprinkle over the chopped cheese. Garnish with a sprinkle of the sunflower seeds. Well done, Chef!
