RUSTIC MASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). When the carrot is done, place in a bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until a rustic mash. Add a splash of milk (optional) and a knob of butter (optional).
MINTY PEAS
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Add the crumbled feta and ¾ of the chopped mint. Smash with a fork or potato masher until chunky.
ON TO THE OSTRICH
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the rustic carrot mash, side with the smashed peas, and the ostrich slices. Garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining mint. Well done, Chef!
