Add the pre-soaked carne seca to a large pot.

Include chopped garlic and a piece of bacon for flavor.

Add the chopped tomato, both bell peppers, and onion to the pot.

Sprinkle in some seasoning from Guedes and a little colorífico for color.

Mix the ingredients in the pot.

Pour in hot water to help cook the carne seca, as it doesn't release much liquid.

Cover the pot and cook under pressure for 40 minutes, checking every 20 minutes to add more hot water if needed.

After 40 minutes, add the pumpkin to the pot without cooking it under pressure.

Finish cooking without the lid until the pumpkin is tender but not too soft.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
