  1. UBER YUM AUBERGINE

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with tinfoil. Brush the cut sides of the aubergine halves with oil and place cut-side down on the tray. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes. When the aubergine is halfway done, add the whole, unpeeled garlic clove and roast for the remaining time.

  2. VEGGIE WEDGES

    Slice the peeled carrot into wedges. On a separate roasting tray, spread out the carrot and red onion wedges. Coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway. When there are 2-3 minutes remaining, sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and roast for the remaining time.

  3. IT’S A ZA’ATAR BAZAAR

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the ostrich goulash for 4-5 minutes until crispy, shifting as they colour. In the final minute, add in a knob of butter (optional) and sprinkle over the za’atar. To ensure the best results, fry them in batches in a single layer. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 3 minutes.

  4. FAB BABA GANOUSH

    When the roast veg is ready, scrape the flesh of the aubergine and the garlic into a bowl, discarding the skins. Mash together with a fork until combined but chunky. Mix in the tahini (to taste), the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. STOMACH GROWLING YET?

    Toss the roasted carrot and onions with ½ the finely chopped parsley, lemon zest and seasoning. In a separate bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, and some seasoning.

  6. A MIDDLE-EASTERN MEDLEY

    Smear the baba ganoush over one side of the plate. Top with the za’atar ostrich bites and sprinkle over the remaining chopped parsley. Side with the lemony roasted carrots, dressed green leaves and any remaining lemon wedges. Delish!
