HARISSA VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot wedges, and the onion wedges onto a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 8-10 minutes, add the harissa paste, and the honey. Roast for the remaining time.
WHIPPED FETA
In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta, and the yoghurt. Mash with a fork until combined. Add milk in 5ml increments if the mixture is not coming together. Alternatively, place in a blender and pulse until smooth.
BUTTER-BASTED 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 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
MMMOROCCAN MEAL!
Smear the whipped feta and top with the harissa veg. Side with the sliced ostrich and garnish with the picked mint. Well done Chef!
