MOROCCAN-SPICED ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, half of the Moroccan Rub, and some seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the broccoli pieces in a bowl. Coat in oil, the remaining Moroccan Rub, and some seasoning. At the halfway mark, give the carrots a shift and add the broccoli pieces to the tray. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until the veggies are cooked through and crisping up.
COOK THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat and the stock in 150ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.
PICKLED VEG & HUMMUS DRESSING
Place the diced cucumber, the chopped piquanté peppers, and three-quarters of the chopped coriander in a salad bowl. Pour in the white wine vinegar and toss to coat. Season to taste and set aside to pickle. In a small bowl, combine the hummus with 1 tsp of olive oil and add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
SEAR THE LEAN OSTRICH
When the veggies reach the halfway mark, place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich steak dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the steak for 6-8 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours until browned and cooked to your preference. (The time frame recommended will yield a medium-rare result.) Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Lightly season the slices.
