Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
DA CHILLI
Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water and set aside. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the sliced chilli to taste and sauté for about a minute. Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 4-5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rub (to taste – it’s spicy!) and stir for another minute until fragrant. Mix in the cooked chopped tomato, diluted stock and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally to stop it from sticking.
ALMOST…
When the chilli has 3-4 minutes remaining, add in the drained kidney beans and the BBQ sauce. Stir until the beans have heated through. Season and add a sweetener of choice. Remove from the heat on completion. In a bowl, add the crème fraîche and coriander & chilli pesto. Add a splash of water, mix to combine and season.
