Method
Cut a whole pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and fibrous centre, sprinkle with olive oil and lots of salt and pepper. Place flesh down on baking paper on a roasting tray, prick the outer layer of the pumpkin and roast in an oven at 160 degrees C for 50 mins. Once cooked, remove the outer layer and blitz in a processor into a soupy consistency.
Blanch the kale in hot water for 1 minute. Dry and sprinkle with olive oil.
Stretch the pizza dough over plenty of semolina.
Spoon the pureed pumpkin puree over the pizza base and add kale, sliced red chilli.
Pour a little basil oil over the top of the pizza.
Sprinkle with dried oregano.
Bake in your pizza oven at 500 degrees C for around 90 seconds, turning frequently.
