== Directions ==
# Cook the yellow split beans half done. Throw the cook water away.
# Simmer the Onion a few minutes, add the small cut tomatoe and the bouillon cube, simmer about five minutes.
# Add, if neccesary a bit of water.
# Add the half cooked split beans and the tomato paste. Add the water.
# Stir, and simmer another five minutes.
# Add the pumpkin and cook till pumpkin is half done.
# Taste the sauce. Add black pepper. The sauce should taste rather strong.
# Add the drained rice. The sauce level should be a phalanx above the rice. If necessary, add some water. Taste the gravy again! #Stir, let the sauce cook, and put cabbage and hot pepper on top, and put the pot on the lowest possible gas. (The pepper gives a special flavour)
# Simmer for about half an hour. Taste if the rice is nearly done.
# Sprinkle if necessary a bit of HOT water over the rice and cook another five minutes. Take the hot pepper out of the pot and stir the cabbage carefully - with a fork - through the rice. Put the pepper back.
# Simmer for another five minutes. The rice should be dry and tasty.
# Take the pot of the stove, take the lid of the pot and leave the rice five minutes untouched.
# Cut the hot pepper in very small pieces (with a fork and knife, so that you don't burn your hands.)
# Serve with cucumber, onions and tomatoes in vinegar.
