CRISPY Chickpeas

If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan and season. Alternatively, air fry the coated chickpeas at 200°C until crispy, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).
O-YUM Ostrich
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel, and cut it into bite-sized chunks. Sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
YOGHURT DRESSING & SALAD
In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, and loosen with a splash of water. Season. In a separate bowl, combine the Cucumber, the tomato, the feta, the salad leaves, the Chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
