READY THE RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
NOW FOR THE PROTEIN
Place a pan over medium-high 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.
LOADED RICE
In a bowl, combine the rice, the Cucumber, the tomato, and seasoning.
O-YUM Ostrich
Make a bed of the loaded rice and top with the Ostrich slices. Dollop over the creamy pesto. Easy peasy, Chef!
