IT’S GETTING STEAMY
Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
CAN YOU DO CARROT-E?
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the carrot rounds until slightly softened and starting to brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in 100ml of boiling water, cover, and simmer until soft, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan.
RELISH THE MOMENT
Rinse and roughly chop the mixed olives. Place in a bowl with 1⁄2 the lemon juice, the grated garlic, the chilli flakes (to taste), 10ml of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside. In a separate bowl, season the yoghurt and set aside.
SIZZLING STEAK
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). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
When the couscous is cooked, add the diced tomatoes, the softened carrots, the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, the remaining lemon juice, and seasoning. Crumble in the drained feta and toss until combined.
EASY & YUM!
Plate up the ostrich slices and spoon over the olive salsa. Side with the loaded couscous salad and top with dollops of yoghurt. Amazing, Chef!
