Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BLUEBERRY & WINE SAUCE
In a small saucepan, add the blueberries, the wine sauce, 5ml of sweetener, and the grated garlic. Using a potato masher or fork, lightly crush the blueberries to break their skins. Place over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 10-15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
CRISPY CHICKPEAS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan and season.
CHARRED GREEN BEANS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, add to the bowl of chickpeas, season, and cover.
CRUNCHY SALAD
To the bowl of green beans and chickpeas, add the drained feta, ½ the toasted almonds, the rinsed leaves, and toss well. Set aside.
DUKKAH-SPICED OSTRICH
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 minute, baste with a knob of butter and ½ the dukkah spice. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
DISH UP!
Serve up the juicy ostrich slices, scatter with the remaining dukkah spice, and drizzle over the blueberry sauce. Side with the chickpea and green bean salad and garnish with the remaining almonds.
