GETTING READY
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, loosen the chermoula with a splash of water. Season and mix in the oregano. In a separate bowl, combine the Yoghurt and ½ the mint. Season well and set aside.
CHERMOULA-COATED VEG
Rinse the gem squash and cut it in half from top to bottom, starting where the stem would have been, and slicing straight down to the base. Scoop the seeds out from the centre of each half, and slice them into large wedges. Place the Beetroot on a roasting tray with some cooking spray and seasoning. Roast for 15 minutes before adding the gem squash. Roast the veg for another 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through. In the final 5-10 minutes, baste the veg in the chermoula.
O-YUM Ostrich
When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan over medium heat. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. Coat the meat in cooking spray and the NOMU rub. When the pan is hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare).Rest the ostrich for 5 minutes before seasoning and slicing.
