1. Drain the beans, place in a pan and cover generously with water. Bring the beans to the boil.

4. To make the spicy pumpkin, cut the pumpkin into cubes and finely chop the onion.

5. Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan or saucepan, and add the pumpkin, onion, garlic, tomatoes, spices and water. Stir well to combine and simmer until the pumpkin is soft. Season with salt, hot pepper sauce and black pepper, to taste. Serve with the black-eyed beans.
