  1. BUTTERNUT FORGET THE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. MILLET BASE

    Place the millet in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 150ml of salted water and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  3. MUSTARD DRESSING

    In a small bowl, combine the mustard dressing with a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. PUMP THE 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.

  5. I’LL FRY IF I WANT TO

    Return the pan to 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 (shifting occasionally). In the final 30-60 seconds, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and season.

  6. GET BOWLED OVER

    Bowl up the cooked millet. Top with the shredded leaves, the golden butternut, and the seared ostrich. Crumble over the drained feta. Drizzle over the dressing, and scatter over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Finish it off with a crack of black pepper. Dig in, Chef!
