  1. BEGIN WITH BEETROOT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. SUNNY SEEDS

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. BALSAMIC ONIONS

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. In the final 1-2 minutes, stir through the balsamic vinegar. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  4. BLEND THE BEANS

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with the rinsed beans and 40ml of milk (optional) or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir through a knob of butter. Place in a blender or mash with a fork until the desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk (optional) or water. Season and cover.

  5. BUTTERY 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 per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. FOR THE FRESHNESS

    In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded green leaves, the radish rounds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  7. BEAN THERE, DONE THAT

    Smear the butter bean purée on the plate and top with the balsamic onions and the roasted beetroot. Side with the ostrich fillet and the radish salad. Scatter over the toasted sunflower seeds and garnish with the chopped parsley.
