Instructions: Fresh Parmesan cheese, cut into long shavings, to serve (optional)

Put peppers under a hot broiler, skin side up, and cook until skins blacken.

Transfer to a small saucepan. Cover tightly with lid and let stand 5-10 minutes to steam. Remove pan and scrape off and discard skins. Cut each half into 3 pieces. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add onions and saute gently until softened and translucent. Add garlic, saute until golden. Add pumpkin and toss until well covered with oil and lightly browned.

Add stock and bring to a boil. Add cabbage and peppers; return to a boil, then simmer about 6 minutes. Stir in beans. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat until bubbling and serve sprinkled with shavings of Parmesan.
