  1. COOK THE COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 100ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. HERBY TOMATOES

    In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato, ½ the chopped oregano (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  3. GOLDEN SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. FRY THE STRIPS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, baste with the NOMU rub and a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. BOWL IT UP

    Plate up the couscous. Serve with the seared ostrich strips, the cucumber half-moons, the herby tomato, the drained feta, and the hummus. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and the remaining oregano. Great work, Chef!
