This is the season of pumpkin and I am constantly thinking of recipes to use them. As most of my recipes are focused on being a full, hearty meal, I decided to use it in a chilli for a perfect dinner. Want to try it for dinner tonight? Here it is!

Ingredients:
Black beans, cooked 1 cup
Pumpkin, chopped in chunks 1 cup
Onion, finely chopped 1
Red bell pepper, diced 1
Garlic, 3 cloves finely chopped

Tomatoes, roasted 1 cup
Salt to taste

Heat oil in thick bottomed pan. Cook the onions till they are translucent, add the garlic and then tomatoes.
Once the tomatoes are cooked and turn into a mush, add the chilli, cumin and salt. stir in the bell pepper, pumpkin, the beans , cover and cook for 5 minutes or till the pumpkin is soft. Add 1 cup of water or vegetable broth.
