Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C). Cut eggplant into 1-inch cubes, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a parchment-lined sheet until deeply golden and tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix ground venison with 1 tbsp harissa paste, finely minced scallions, salt, and black pepper. Form into 4 oblong kofta patties.
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the kofta for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Remove and rest.
Boil the red lentil pasta in salted water for 6-8 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving a splash of pasta water.
Toss the pasta with the remaining harissa, a teaspoon of rice vinegar, and the reserved water to create a light, spicy sauce.
Assemble the plate by arranging the spicy pasta as a base. Top with the venison kofta and the roasted eggplant. Garnish with fresh slivered radicchio for crunch and a final drizzle of rice vinegar for brightness.
