QUICK SALSA
In a bowl, combine the Tomato and onion (to taste). Toss with the jalapeños (to taste), the lemon juice (to taste), ½ the spring onion, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and some seasoning. Set aside.
CHARRED CAULI
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the cauliflower until lightly charred, 5-6 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover with a lid, and simmer until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and season. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).
PERFECT Ostrich
Place a clean 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 NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FINAL TOUCHES
Just before serving, toss the salad leaves through the salsa and set aside.
