BEGIN WITH THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml 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.
SOFT, SILKY ONION
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
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). Remove from the pan and season.
COMBINE, THEN DINE!
In a bowl, combine the cooked bulgur, the diced Tomato, the fried onion, ¾ of the pesto, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, loosen the remaining pesto with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
