LET’S START!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
BACON MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel, keeping the pan of oil on the heat. Add a knob of butter (optional) and fry the Onion until golden, 7-8 minutes (shifting occasionally).
MAKE THE MARMALADE
When the Onion is soft and caramelised, reduce the heat to low. Roughly chop the bacon and add to the pan. Stir in the Honey and 30ml [50ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Cook until sticky and reduced by a ¼, 3-4 minutes (stirring regularly). Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and set aside.
SMASHED SPUDS
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 15-20 minutes.
SEARED Ostrich
Return the pan to 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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
QUICK SALAD
Place the baby tomatoes into a bowl. Toss with the green leaves, the cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
