NUTS, VEG & SWEET VINEGAR
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patty pans until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the spring onion and fry until golden. Remove from the pan and place into a bowl. Season and toss with the sweet vinegar.
NOMU-SPICED Ostrich
Place a clean 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 per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BEAUTIFUL SALAD
Just before serving, toss the salad leaves, the figs, ½ the nuts, and the feta through the spring onions and patty pans along with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
