Method

  1. 1

    Fry the sofrito in a little oil for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped tomatoes and the pumpkin, and simmer for 12 minutes until the pumpkin starts to soften.

  3. 3

    Stir in the kidney beans with a splash of their liquid and simmer for 8 minutes, mashing the pumpkin roughly into the sauce to thicken it.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then drain.

  5. 5

    Serve the stewed beans over the rice.
