Greens And Adzuki Bean Stew Recipes

CANNELLINI-BEAN AND GREENS STEW

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add bread; cook, flipping once and adding sage sprigs halfway through, until toasted, 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate; lightly rub one side with whole garlic clove. Season with salt.
• Discard oil; return skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, sliced garlic, carrots, and chopped sage; season with salt and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until garlic is golden. Add wine; cook until evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in beans and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender and liquid has reduced slightly, 25 minutes. Transfer 1 cup beans to a bowl; mash and return to pot. Stir in greens just until wilted; season with salt. Serve over toast, with cheese and a drizzle of oil.

LEBANESE GREEN BEAN STEW

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil, then add the cilantro, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomato paste and cook together with the cilantro mixture until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and water and stir until well blended to create a tomato broth.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the green beans, raw the chicken breast and bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper and 7 Spice and cook covered until the chicken is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaves from the pot and discard. Remove the chicken breast from the tomato broth, shred it and return it to the pot. Simmer for an additional 20 minute to allow the broth to thicken and flavors to settle.
• Serve over traditional Lebanese rice pilaf and sprinkle fresh cilantro for garnish.

BEANS AND GREENS STEW WITH DOENJANG

Steps:

• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium and add 2 tablespoons oil, the onion and scallions. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the remaining tablespoon oil and the doenjang, and stir until heated through and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Move the onion mixture to one side of the pot, add the honey and red-pepper flakes to the empty side, and let the honey bubble and caramelize, about 1 minute.
• Add the beans and stir to coat. Add the soy sauce and 2 cups water, raise the heat to high, and bring to a gentle boil, using the wooden spoon to crush some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
• Stir in the chard, cover the pot and reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until the greens have cooked down and darkened in color, about 10 minutes.
• Off the heat, stir in the grated garlic. Taste and add more salt, pepper and doenjang as desired. Serve in large bowls over or alongside rice.

ADUKI BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Saute the onion in the margarine until golden.
• Add the garlic, leek, carrot and mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are just soft.
• Mix in the paprika and flour and stir for another minute.
• Add the remaining ingredients, including the cooked aduki beans, plus enough reserved bean cooking liquid to half-cover the ingredients.
• Stir well, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more cooking liquid if it gets too dry.
• Season with black pepper and parsley and serve.

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.
