OSTRICH & FAMOUS
Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich chunks until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
STEW, THAT WAS CLOSE!
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the carrot chunks until softening, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub, the drained chickpeas, and the grated garlic, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the red wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 2-3 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 100ml of water, reduce the heat, and simmer until slightly thickened, 8-10 minutes.
POPPADOM PARTY
Place a clean pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom. As soon as the poppadom starts curling, use a spatula or tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up. Carefully remove from the pan on completion and allow to drain on some paper towel.
THE FINALE
In a bowl, combine the cornflour with 10ml of water. When the stew has 2-3 minutes remaining, add the loosened cornflour, the browned ostrich, ½ the chopped apricots, and seasoning.
THE MAIN EVENT
Plate up the ostrich stew and sprinkle over the chopped mint and remaining apricots. Side with the crispy poppadom for dunking. Well done, Chef!
