BEGIN WITH BABY POTATOES

In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the diced cucumber, ½ the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), a splash of water, and seasoning. Set aside.
BBQ OSTRICH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30 seconds, baste with the BBQ sauce. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and season.
