  1. BEFORE YOU GET GOING

    Read the whole recipe. The prep instructions are displayed in the ingredient list, directly under the item they apply to. You can either do all your prep before you start, or as you get to each item in the method.

  2. SWEET ROAST Butternut

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the Butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.

  3. SEEDS & DRESSING

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the red pepper pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil. Add warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. COSY COUSCOUS

    When the Butternut is halfway, boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous and vegetable stock in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 7-10 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

  5. SAUTÉ THE Spinach

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil or knob of butter. When hot, sauté the shredded Spinach for 3-5 minutes until wilted. On completion, stir it through the cooked couscous.

  6. Ostrich & OREGANO

    Return the pan to a high heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, brown the Ostrich goulash for 2-4 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped oregano and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the ostrich is cooked through and crispy. Remove from the pan on completion and season.

  7. SOUL-WARMING BOWL

    Dish up the crispy Ostrich goulash alongside some spinachy couscous and roast Butternut. Drizzle with the red pesto dressing, crumble over the drained feta, and garnish with the sunflower seeds. Look at you go, Chef!
