  1. QUINOA

    Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes. Toss through the rinsed green leaves and set aside.

  2. PREP STEP

    While the quinoa is simmering, rinse and cut the cucumber into half-moons. Rinse and halve the baby tomatoes. Drain and halve the mixed olives. Drain the feta. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the oregano.

  3. OLIVES & TOMS

    In a small bowl, combine the halved olives, the drained feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the halved baby tomatoes, ½ the chopped oregano (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. OSTRICH

    Place a pan over 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 minute, baste with the NOMU rub and a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan and season.

  5. EAT

    Plate up the quinoa. Top with the seared ostrich chunks, the cucumber half-moons, the herby baby tomatoes, the olive & feta mix, and the hummus. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and the remaining oregano. Enjoy!
