  1. ROAST AUBERGINE & CHICKPEAS

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread out the aubergine chunks on half of a roasting tray, coat in oil and the Oriental rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until softened. Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl. Coat in oil and some seasoning.

  2. SWEET POTATO MASH

    Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the sweet potato chunks and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain on completion and return to the pot.

  3. ROLL THOSE KOFTAS & MAKE DRESSING

    Place the ostrich mince in a bowl with the spring onion whites. Mix until well combined and season. Roll into 3 koftas. Loosen ½ the tahini with the lemon juice. Add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice.

  4. FRY THE KOFTAS

    When the aubergine has 15 minutes remaining, give them a shift and place the dressed chickpeas on the other half of the tray. Roast for the remaining time until crispy and caramel in colour. Place a pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the koftas for 2-3 minutes in total until browned but not cooked through, shifting as they colour. Place onto a lightly greased baking tray. Bake in the hot oven for 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

  5. MASH & SALAD

    Add the remaining tahini to the pot with the drained sweet potato. Add a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter or coconut oil, and some seasoning. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. In a salad bowl, add the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, the chopped cranberries, and ½ of the roasted chickpeas.

  6. PLATE

    Plate up a mound of the tahini sweet potato mash, top with the ostrich koftas and drizzle over the tahini lemon dressing. Side with the spiced aubergine chunks and the spinach cranberry salad. Garnish the whole dish with the remaining crispy chickpeas, crumbled feta, spring onion greens, and mint leaves. Well done, Chef!
