Couscous & PREP
Boil the kettle. Place the Couscous in a bowl with 75ml [150ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Rinse and roughly chop the fresh herbs and set aside.
UN-BEET-ABLE
Place the Beetroot in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 10-15 minutes. Drain, season, and cover. Place a pan over 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 and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
