AVO PESTO
In a bowl, combine the Avocado, the feta, the spring onion (to taste), the pistachios, a splash of water, and seasoning. Mix with a fork until combined.
Corn
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Ostrich
Return the 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 smoked paprika. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
TIME TO EAT
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the beans, the charred Corn, the salad leaves, the peppers, and seasoning. Bowl up the salad, top with the steak slices, and dollop over the avo pesto. Garnish with any remaining spring onion. Well done, Chef!
