  1. BEGIN WITH THE BULGUR

    Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.

  2. SOFT, SILKY Onion

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.

  3. NOW FOR THE PROTEIN

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 30-60 seconds, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and season.

  4. COMBINE, THEN DINE!

    In a bowl, combine the bulgur, tomato, Onion, ¾ of the pesto, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, loosen the remaining pesto with water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.

  5. O-YUM Ostrich
