RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
Ostrich
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel and cut into small chunks. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan. Season and set aside.
SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced Onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the grated Ginger, the curry spice, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata, the coconut milk, and 50ml of water. Gently simmer until thickening, 8-10 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, mix in the rinsed Spinach, the browned Ostrich and the peas. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
