MASHED POTATOES
Place the Potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Spinach
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the shredded Spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
CREAMY Spinach
Return the pan to medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the flour to form a roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, add the wilted Spinach and a splash of water. Simmer until thick, 1-2 minutes. Loosen with a splash of warm water if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat and season.
SIZZLING Ostrich
Place a pan over 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 minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
