  1. SAFFRON RICE

    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the bay leaf, the chopped sultanas, and the rinsed rice. Stir until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the golden water and 150ml of water, and season. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, fluff with a fork, and cover.

  2. MIX THINGS UP

    Roughly chop the mixed nuts and place in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. BROWN OSTRICH

    Pat the ostrich chunks dry with paper towel. Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich chunks until browned, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pot and season.

  4. CURRY

    Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add a knob of butter, the tomato paste, and the NOMU & chilli mix, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the yoghurt and 100ml of water. Lower the heat and simmer until the curry is slightly reduced, 6-8 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the shredded spinach and the browned ostrich, and cook until the spinach is wilted. Add a sweetener and seasoning.
