- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups thawed frozen corn kernels
- 2 cups winter squash like pumpkin or acorn, cut into 3/4-inch dice
- 1 (16 ounce) can (2 cups) plum tomatoes, chopped, juices reserved

- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely minced

Directions
Heat olive oil until hot. Add red pepper and saute for 5 minutes or until somewhat tender. Add the cumin seeds and saute a few seconds until you get a whiff of their aroma. Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon, cloves and paprika and saute for a few seconds or until aromatic. Add corn, winter squash, tomatoes with their juices, the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until squash is almost tender. Add beans, cover and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes or until squash is completely tender. (If liquid seems to be evaporating too much, add more water.) Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over noodles. Garnish with jalapeno pepper and toasted sunflower seeds

I made this stew last year and added beef, it was so tasty, this year we are limiting our meat so I made it per the recipe but with beef broth instead of chicken.

Amazing stew! Store didn't have fresh pumpkin (really, in October???!!!, so I used acorn squash in its place and used dried cilantro and extra cinnamon instead of the oregano and clove.

This was very delicious and hearty! I modified the recipe to the ingredients I had at home. I didnt have corn, so I used one chopped yellow squash instead. When I was boiling the stew, I thought there was too little pumpkin, so I quickly added added another cup during the cooking process! I used cayanne instead of paprika powder, to give it some kick. I also added a teaspoon of sugar to bring out the pumpkin flavours. My husband loved it on pasta, so I am sure to make this again soon!
