THYME TO ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the picked thyme, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
YES, PE-CAN!
Place the chopped pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SLAY THE SLAW
In a bowl, combine the vinegar and 2 tsp of olive oil. Add the shredded cabbage, ¾ of the tzatziki, the remaining thyme, the sliced chilli (to taste), and seasoning. Toss until combined. Set aside.
RICH 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 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CLASSIC ONE!
Plate up the roasted butternut & onion alongside the sliced ostrich drizzled with the reserved pan juices. Side with the tzatziki slaw. Scatter over the toasted pecans and any remaining chilli (to taste). Serve the remaining tzatziki on the side. Bon appétit, Chef!
