PICKLE THE RADISH
Place the sliced radish in a bowl with the pickling liquid. Toss to coat and set aside to pickle.
CRISPY LENTILS
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained lentils for 6-8 minutes until crispy. For the best results, only shift them occasionally. Season on completion and set aside for serving.
WARM THE ROTIS
Place a clean, dry pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the rotis for about 1 minute per side until heated through and lightly toasted. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and warm up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Once heated, stack on a plate and cover with a tea towel to keep warm.
SPICED OSTRICH STRIPS
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich stroganoff for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through, shifting occasionally. Add the BBQ Rub to taste and a knob of butter (optional). Fry for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through and crisping up.
HUMMUS DRESSING
Drain the pickled radish, reserving the pickling liquid. Place the hummus in a bowl and mix in the reserved pickling liquid in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency, tasting as you go. Season to taste.
GET ROLLIN’
Lay out the warm, golden rotis and load with the rinsed green leaves, julienne carrot, pickled radish, and BBQ ostrich strips. Sprinkle over the chopped apricots and crispy lentils and complete with splatters of hummus dressing. Roll up and eat up, Chef!
