BABY POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse and cut the baby potatoes into thin rounds. Spread the baby potato rounds on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
SALAD PREP
Rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Drain the piquanté peppers and set aside.
CHARRED CORN
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Place in a salad bowl.
OSTRICH STEAK
Return the pan to 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 rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FOR THE FRESHNESS
To the salad bowl with the corn, toss through the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), seasoning, the shredded leaves, and the drained peppers.
