SWEET ROAST BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut pieces 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.
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 pepper pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Add warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
COSY COUSCOUS
When the butternut is halfway, boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous and vegetable 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.
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 3-5 minutes until wilted. On completion, stir it through the cooked couscous.
OSTRICH & OREGANO
Return the pan to a high heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, brown the ostrich goulash for 2-4 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped oregano and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the ostrich is cooked through and crispy. Remove from the pan on completion and season.
