BULGUR WHEAT
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 200ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain, if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside. Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BROWNED OSTRICH
Return the pan to 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.
TASTY TABBOULEH
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss through the cooked bulgur, the halved tomato, the chopped parsley, ¾ of the sliced spring onion (to taste), the chopped dried apricots, and the toasted sunflower seeds.
MOROCCAN MEAL
Plate up the herby tabbouleh. Top with the ostrich slices and drizzle over any pan juices. Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion. Dig in, Chef!
