Stir fry the onion, the carrot and celery 3 minutes. Add the chicken and stir fry 5 minutes more. Add the rice and fry 1 minute. Add the wine and heat until all wine has been absorbed. Now add the chicken broth bit by bit, add the next bit when the first has been absorbed. This should take about half an hour. Finally stir in the butter and pepper and salt to taste and sprinkle with cheese.

Fry the pork, bacon and sausages until brown on all sides. Take them out of the pan; stir fry the onion and the garlic five minutes. Add the meat and 2 cups of water, the coriander seed and pepper and salt to taste. Bring this to the boil and simmer for half an hour. Add the cabbage, the potatoes, the corn and the pumpkin and simmer half an hour more.
