THE GEMS ARE ROASTIN’
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the deseeded gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and soft, 25-30 minutes. At the halfway mark, pop a small knob of butter (optional) or a drizzle of oil into each half and return to the oven for the remaining time.
FEELING PREPPY
Place the skewers in a shallow dish. Cover with water and soak for 10 minutes. Separate the layers of the Onion wedges into petals. Set aside. Place the cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
JAPANESE MARINADE
In a large bowl, combine ¾ of the sweet sesame soy, the grated Ginger, and ½ the chilli flakes (to taste). Add the Ostrich chunks, the onion petals, and the pineapple pieces. Mix until fully coated.
SMASHED SALAD
Using a rolling pin or bottle, smash the Cucumber, slice into bite-sized pieces, and lightly salt. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sweet sesame soy, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the remaining chilli flakes (to taste). Add the cucumber pieces and set aside to marinate. Just before serving, add the rinsed salad leaves and toss to combine.
THREAD & BAKE
Thread 1 Ostrich chunk, 2-3 onion petals, and 1 pineapple piece onto a skewer, making sure they are secure. Repeat in the same order, filling up both skewers until they are full. Place on a greased baking tray and bake in the hot oven until the onions are soft and the ostrich is browned, 15-20 minutes. In the final 5 minutes, increase the temperature to the highest temperature or the grill setting.
HAPPY EATING!
Plate up the Ostrich skewers. Side with the roasted gem squash halves and the salad sprinkled with the toasted cashew nuts. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Itadakimasu!
