A GRACIOUS ROAST
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread out the aubergine chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until softened, shifting halfway.
GET DRESSED
In a bowl, combine the tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Set aside. In a salad bowl, combine the mustard, the grated garlic (to taste), a drizzle of oil, a sweetener of choice, and seasoning.
THE OST-RICH & FAMOUS
When the aubergine has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned all over and cooked to your preference (the time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) In the final 1-2 minutes, use a knob of butter and the remaining rub to baste the steaks. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
TOSS TOGETHER
To the salad bowl with the mustard dressing, add the chopped olives and the salad leaves. Toss until fully combined.
IT’S SALAD SEASON
Make a bed of the dressed leaves and olives. Top with the aubergine chunks and the ostrich slices. Drizzle over the tahini dressing and crumble over the drained feta. Sprinkle over the sunflower seeds and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Beautiful, Chef!
