  1. LET’S GET GOING

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. MIGHTY SPICY

    Pile up the chilli con carne. Dollop over the coriander crema. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and any remaining chilli (to taste). Side with the roasted pumpkin pieces. Well done, Chef!
