    1. Wash the physalis, set it on a paper towel, and blot off the excess moisture. Cut the physalis in half. Peel and finely chop the onion. Cut the pickled bell pepper into pieces about the size of the physalis halves. 2. Wash and dry the ostrich meat with paper towels, then coat it all over with half of the olive oil mixed with the seasonings. Heat a skillet over high heat, add the meat, and cook for five minutes per side. You want the meat nicely browned, but be careful not to overcook it. 3. Next, right in the skillet (or transfer the meat to a baking dish), put it into an oven preheated to 320°F (160°C) for 10 minutes. Take the meat out, let it rest at room temperature for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a plate, cut it into pieces, and let it cool completely. 4. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the remaining oil, add the onion, and fry it, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the physalis, chopped bell pepper, sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, and brine. Stir well, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook everything together for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon and anise and let the mixture cool completely. 5. Blanch the spinach: drop the whole leaves into a pot of plenty of boiling water and pull them out immediately. Let the excess water drain off. 6. Arrange the meat on individual plates. Divide the corn and blanched spinach among the plates and spoon the physalis sauce over the top. Garnish the salad with a sprig of fresh rosemary. All done!
