POTATO FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato fries on a roasting tray. Coat generously in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively: Air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
OSTRICH
When the fries have 5-10 minutes to go, place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel, coat in the remaining NOMU rub, and season. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices.

Halve the ciabattini bun, and spread butter or oil over the cut-side. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
SOME PREP
Loosen the avocado hummus with a splash of water.
O-YUM OSTRICH BUN
