ROAST VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
FLUFFY QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
SUNNY 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.
SEAR THE OSTRICH
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel and coat in the NOMU rub. 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. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
LOADED SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Add the cooked quinoa, the chopped cranberries, the toasted sunflower seeds, the rinsed green leaves, and the roasted veggies. Toss to combine.
