BROWN OSTRICH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel and cut into small pieces. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned but not cooked through, 30-60 seconds (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
COOK THE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and the rub & flour. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Stir in 100ml of water. Simmer until thickened, 6-8 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the browned ostrich pieces. Add a sweetener and season. Remove from the heat.
TOAST
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.
CABBAGE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced cabbage until slightly wilted, 30-60 seconds. Pour over the lemon juice (to taste). Season and remove from the pan.
IT’S THAT TIME
Lay down the toasted rotis, top with the cabbage and the saucy ostrich, and sprinkle over the chopped coriander. Wrap them up and enjoy!
