ROASTED & CRISPY
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot and onion wedges on one half of a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season well. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up. Place the drained lentils in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
CREAMY & TANGY
In a small bowl, place the coconut yoghurt, chopped mint, and seasoning. Mix to combine. In a separate bowl (big enough for the carrot wedges), combine the chermoula, a drizzle of oil, the lemon juice and some salt. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl, combine the diced cucumbers and chopped pickled peppers with a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
MORE CRISP
Once the veg has been in for 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven, give them a shift and sprinkle over the dressed lentils in a single layer on the other side of the tray along with the whole, unpeeled garlic clove. Return to the oven and roast for the remaining time.
JUICY OSTRICH STEAK
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with 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.) Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing and seasoning.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
When the veg has finished roasting, squeeze the flesh out of the roasted garlic, discarding the skin. Roughly chop the flesh and add to the chermoula dressing along with the roasted carrot and onion wedges. Toss until coated.
IT’S YOUR TIME TO DINE!
Dish up the chermoula dressed vegetables along with the crispy lentils, and lay over the juicy ostrich slices. Side with the cucumber and pepper salad, and dollop over the minted coconut yoghurt. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Time to eat!
