  1. SWEET ROAST BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.

  2. SEEDS & DRESSING

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the red pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Add warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency and set aside for serving.

  3. COSY COUSCOUS

    When the butternut reaches the halfway mark, boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous and stock in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 7-10 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

  4. SAUTÉ THE SPINACH

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sauté the shredded spinach for 2-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan on completion. When the couscous is cooked, stir through the wilted spinach. Cover to keep warm and set aside for serving.

  5. OREGANO-INFUSED OSTRICH

    Drain any liquid from the ostrich goulash and pat dry with some paper towel. Return the pan to a high heat with another drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, brown the ostrich for 2-4 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped oregano, season, and fry for another minute until browned and cooked through. On completion, remove from the heat and allow to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

  6. A BOWL TO WARM YOUR SOUL!

    Make a warm bed of spinach and couscous and scatter over the roast butternut. Pop the juicy ostrich on top and drizzle with the red pesto dressing. Crumble over the drained feta and garnish with the toasted sunflower seeds. Look at you go, Chef!
