Instructions
For the charred pumpkin
- Start your BBQ or wood-fired oven until the coals or logs burn well. Pierce holes in the Butternut pumpkin with a sharp knife and place it in the fire. Turn regularly until it is completely blackened.
- Scrape the burned skin of the pumpkin, remove the seeds and threads and cut the flesh into equal sized cubes (note this can be very hot).
Autumn stew
- Take a cast iron skillet (pan) or plancha and add the oil. Place the skillet in the wood oven or on your BBQ at a temperature of +-200°C. direct heat.
- Cut the onions and shallots into half rings and add, together with the garlic, 1 tsp spice mixture and 1 tsp chili allspice to the skillet. Let it caramelize gently.
- Drain the chickpeas and red beans in a sieve.
- Mix 1 tsp chili allspice and 1 tsp spice mixture with the minced meat and fry in a hot skillet (if you only have one pan, put the onions aside).
- Add the onions and pumpkin cubes to the fried mince and mix in the passata. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the pumpkin is allmost done. Stir regularly to prevent ingredients from burning. If necessary, add some water or stock if the sauce thickens too much.
- Add the beans to the autumn stew and let it heat up for another two minutes.
Finishing
- Lightly brush the tortilla sheets with oil and bake them on the BBQ or in your wood oven.
- Taste your stew and season with pepper, salt and additional spices or chili if desired.
