Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin slices in a roasting dish. Coat in oil, ½ of the rub, and a little seasoning to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up.
A LITTLE PREP
Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. Set aside for step 3. Place the crème fraîche in a small bowl with ¾ of the chopped chives. Combine with the lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice, both to taste. Season and set aside for serving.
CRISPY KALE
When the pumpkin reaches the halfway mark, remove the dish from the oven and spread the slices further out over the base and up the sides of the dish. Scatter over the kale and return to the oven for 7-8 minutes until crispy.
BROWNED VENISON
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the venison for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the heat on completion.
LOOKING GOOD…
When the kale is crispy, remove the tray from the oven and scatter over the drained kidney beans, the browned goulash, and corn. Evenly sprinkle with the remaining rub and the mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake for 4-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
DINE LIKE A KING!
Plate up the loaded pumpkin “nachos” and cover in dollops of chive-infused crème fraîche. Finish off with scatterings of the chopped jalapeños and the remaining chives. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side. Time to feast, Chef!
