ROAST TATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the quartered baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
TASTY 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, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
TOMATO SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the remaining NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the tomato passata and 100ml of water. Simmer until reduced, 10-12 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the browned ostrich pieces, a sweetener, and seasoning.
TIME TO DINE
Plate up the roasted potatoes, side with the saucy ostrich, and sprinkle over the grated hard cheese. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley. Nicely done, Chef!
