FLUFFY RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
BROWN THE 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, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
FRY FOR FLAVOUR
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Fry the Onion until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and the Ostrich. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata, ½ the chilli, and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until the sauce is thickening, 8-10 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the ostrich, and sweetener (to taste). Remove from the heat and season.
ZESTY SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the green leaves with the Cucumber, the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
