GEM SQUASH AND HERBS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly coat in cooking spray and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes. Rinse, pick and roughly chop the mixed herbs.
BULGUR WHEAT
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
O-YUM Ostrich
Place a pan over medium heat. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel and lightly coat with cooking spray. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
TASTY TABBOULEH
Add the peas, the spring onion, the baby tomatoes, the herbs, and the lemon juice (to taste), to the bulgur.
