BUTTERY BEANS & BUTTERY SQUASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the drained butter beans in a bowl, coat in oil and seasoning, and set aside.
PICKLE THE ONION & TOAST THE SEEDS
Place the sliced onion in a bowl and pour over the vinaigrette. Season to taste, toss to coat, and set aside to pickle. Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Keep a close eye on them, they burn easily. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
IT’S THE HALFWAY MARK!
When the butternut reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give a shift. Scatter over the beans, spread out in a single layer, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. On completion, the beans should be crisping up and the butternut should be cooked through and caramelised.
JUICY OSTRICH GOULASH
When the roast veg has 5 minutes remaining, drain any liquid from the ostrich packaging and pat the meat dry with paper towel. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through, shifting as it colours. Remove from the pan on completion and season. Allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Drain the vinaigrette from the pickled onion into a seperate bowl. Mix in 1 tsp of olive oil until well combined. Place the rinsed salad leaves, cucumber half-moons, and chopped piquanté peppers in a salad bowl. Drizzle over the dressing to taste and toss to coat.
FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!
In a shallow bowl, pile up some tangy salad and cover in roast butternut and butter beans. Scatter over the pickled onion and ostrich goulash. Finish off with sprinklings of toasted sesame seeds and dried cranberries. Drizzle over any remaining dressing if you’d like. Delish!
