READY, SET, ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut and beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
OPEN SESAME
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the miso paste and the mirin.
SESAME SWISS CHARD
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the shredded spinach and fry until wilted, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and add the sesame oil, ½ the toasted sesame seeds, and seasoning to the spinach. Set aside and cover.
MISO BUTTER
Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, melt 10g of butter. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, add the miso paste mixture and 15ml of boiling water. Mix until loosened and slowly whisk in the melted butter until combined. Set aside.
SIZZLING OSTRICH
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 per side (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
