BEGIN WITH THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Fluff up with a fork, replace the plate, and set aside.
FOR THE FRESHNESS
Peel and slice ½ of the onion. Cut the Cucumber into matchsticks. Drain and roughly chop the pickled peppers. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and the pesto. Season and set aside.
SOFT, SILKY Onion
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced Onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, baste with ½ the rub. Remove from the pan and set aside.
NOW FOR THE PROTEIN
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the ostrich for 30-60 seconds per side. In the final minute, baste with the remaining rub.
COMBINE, THEN DINE!
