  1. SWEET, SWEET BUTTERNUT

    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 until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. BUBBLE IT UP

    Rinse the quinoa, place in a pot, and submerge in 200ml of water. Place over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer uncovered. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the tails have popped out, adding more water if required during the cooking process. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and allow to stand off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. PICKLED SALSA & HUMMUS DRESSING

    Pour the white wine vinegar and 40ml of warm water into a bowl. Whisk in 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice until dissolved. Add in the quartered baby tomatoes and diced cucumber. Toss to coat and set aside to pickle. Combine the hummus with 1 tsp of olive oil and three-quarters of the chopped parsley. Mix in water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

  4. SPICED OSTRICH

    When the butternut reaches the halfway mark, place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 5-7 minutes, shifting as it colours until browned and cooked to your preference. (This time frame will yield a medium-rare result.) During the final 1-2 minutes, evenly sprinkle over the steak spice and add another drizzle of oil. Use the pan juices to baste the steak until cooked. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

  5. TOSS YOUR COLOURFUL QUINOA

    Just before serving, toss the roast butternut and pickled salsa through the cooked quinoa. Use or lose the remaining vinegar as you wish!

  6. SINK INTO HEALTH HEAVEN

    Dish up some vibrant quinoa salad and top with the spiced ostrich slices. Drizzle over the herby hummus dressing and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley. Well done, Chef!
