You are in for a taste treat with this trio, Chef! Oven roasted leeks & butternut are covered in melted cheese as one of the two sides. The other is a sweet apple, toasted pecans, & creamy feta salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar. These both make the butter-basted ostrich slices shine.

BUTTERNUT FORGET

I CAN WITH PECANS
Place the chopped pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SWEET SENSATION
To a salad bowl, add the apple slices. Toss with the rinsed leaves, drained feta, ½ the toasted nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar and seasoning.
LEKKER LEEKS
When the butternut has been in for 10 minutes, toss through the leek pieces and return to the oven for the remaining time.
BUTTER-BASTED OSTRICH STEAK
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.
