ROAST VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Carrot and onion on a roasting tray. Lightly spray with cooking spray, coat with thyme (to taste), and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
Quinoa
Place the Quinoa in a pot with 225ml [450ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
Ostrich
Place a pan over medium-high heat. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel, coat with oregano, and lightly spray with cooking spray. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
