POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
ONIONS & BEANS
Spread out the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Place the halved green beans in a bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. After the onion has been in for 10 minutes, scatter over the dressed green beans and roast for the remaining time. When there are 5 minutes remaining, scatter over the chopped Hazelnuts.
WINE SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Place the wine and spice mix in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. In a small bowl, add 5ml of cold water and the Cornflour. Mix until there are no lumps. Add the orange juice mix, beef stock, cornflour slurry and 50ml boiling water to the spiced wine. Reduce until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Cover and set aside to allow the whole spices to infuse.
SMASHED POTATOES
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle with oil, scatter over ½ the rinsed Rosemary sprigs, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 15-20 minutes.
Ostrich STEAK
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 remaining Rosemary sprigs. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FINISH UP
Return the pot of mulled wine sauce to a medium heat. Bring it up to a simmer until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Loosen with a splash of water if it is too thick. Remove the whole spices, discard and season.
