Step 1:

Simmer the diced pumpkin for ten minutes or until soft, and drain. If you're lucky enough to live in a country that has tinned black beans, then open up your can, and drain. Otherwise, add 100g (3.5 ounces) black beans to a saucepan with about 4-5 cups of boiling water and simmer for 60-90 minutes, or until soft. Drain any remaining water.

Step 2:

Finely chop the white portions of the spring onions, chopping more coarsely the greener it gets.

Step 3:

Heat olive oil (or other "good fat" oil of your choice) in a pan until translucent. Add pumpkin, black beans, and spices and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. If it starts to stick, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to keep everything moving.
