method
1. Drain the beans, place in a pan and cover generously with water. Bring the beans to the boil.
2. Add the onion, green or red pepper, garlic, stock cube, herbs and spices. Simmer for 45 minutes or until the beans are just tender. Season to taste with the salt and a little hot pepper sauce.
3. Add the carrots and palm oil and continue cooking for about 10—12 minutes until the carrots are cooked, adding a little more water if necessary. Remove from the heat and set aside.
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.
