Place the Hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ZESTY FETA WHIP
In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and the feta. Mash with a fork until combined. Add water in 5ml increments if the mixture is not coming together. Alternatively, place in a blender and pulse until smooth. Mix through ½ the lemon juice (to taste). Set aside.
SUPERB SLAW
In a bowl, combine the Cabbage, the Cucumber, the red pesto, the remaining lemon juice, ½ the nuts, and seasoning. Set aside.
O-YUM Ostrich
Place a pan over medium-high heat and lightly add cooking spray. 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, spice with the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
