and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent. Stir in
the pumpkin, curry, pepper, salt, and clove and cook for 1 minute more.
Add 3 cups water and the rice, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook over
medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir in the kale and beans and cook
for about 5 minutes more. Fluff the rice and turn off the heat. Let stand
for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

and cut into thin strips, discarding the seeds, serve on the side. -- see
