Ostrich is similar to beef but has a more delicate flavour and tender
texture. If you don’t fancy ostrich use boneless chicken.
Orzo is an Italian pasta with a thick rice like texture which is very
flavoursome.

Season an ostrich steak with ground black pepper
2 spring onions roughly chopped
1 handful of baby spinach finely chopped
4 sliced mushrooms including stalks (just brush of any debris first)
2 peeled and finely chopped garlic cloves

Put 1 tbsp tomato puree in a measuring jug and top up and mix in with 100ml
water
Let’s cook:

minutes each side. Add a knob of butter on top of the steak., remove and set aside
