Adzuki Bean Stew Recipes

ADZUKI BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Drain the beans and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil & simmer until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Heat butter or margarine in a large pot. Add the onion and cook until transparent. Add the garlic, leeks, carrot and mushrooms and cook gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, pepper and flour. Add stock, soy sauce, tomato paste, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the beans and bring back to a boil. Add the dumplings. Cover with a tight fitting lid & simmer for 20 to 25 minutes very gently to prevent burning. Sprinkle generously with parsley before serving. FOR DUMPLINGS: Put the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in margarine until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in parsley. Add just enough liquid to make a firm dough. Divide into 8 pieces and shape into dumplings. Serves 4 to 6.

ADZUKI BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Rinse the beans after draining them from the soaking water then put them in a saucepan. Cover with water and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and then simmer, partially covered, for 30 to 35 minutes. When you're done, the beans should still be somewhat hard.
• Add all of the other ingredients except for the broccoli and cilantro and cook for 10 minutes. Next, add the broccoli and cilantro and then simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
• To serve, spoon into bowls topped with a spoonful of natural yogurt, if desired.
• Soaking the beans overnight is crucial to this recipe as it greatly shortens the cooking time of the beans.

ADZUKI BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Boil the adzuki beans in 1.25 cups of the stock, broth, or water for 30 minutes. Beans will absorb all or most of the liquid.
• In the meantime, chop the celery, carrots, and onion -- I use a food processor to get minced pieces.
• Saute the celery, carrots, and onions in the oil. Mince garlic and add to pan, saute another 30 seconds or so.
• Add beans to saute pan and saute for a minute or two.
• Add remaining stock, broth, or water, along with the bay leaf and the Braggs. Bring to boil and simmer for a minimum of 15 minutes.
