Best 6 Aduki Bean Stew Recipes

VEGAN MUSHROOM AND ADZUKI BEAN STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Place aduki bean in large bowl and cover with water by 4 inches. The beans will swell overnight so use plenty of water. When it is time to make the stew, drain the beans and place in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Let simmer for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile pour 1 cup boiling water into a heat proof container and add the dried porcini mushrooms. Stir to submerge the mushrooms and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain the mushrooms and strain the water through a coffee filter. Set mushrooms and mushroom water aside.
• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven heat oil and add tomato paste. Sauté tomato paste 1 minute then add onion, celery, and carrot. Cook 3 minutes then add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add oyster, wild and porcini mushrooms. Cook until liquid releases about 5 minutes.
• Add frozen butternut squash cubes, vegetable stock, mushroom water, lentils and beans. Simmer for 20 minutes then check beans for doneness.
• When stew is ready remove form heat and season with soy, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Just before serving stir in chopped parsley.

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.

VEGAN ADUKI BEAN PUMPKIN STEW

Steps:

• Place kombu in the bottom of a heavy based pot, add washed and drained aduki beans and 3 cups water.
• Bring to the boil then simmer until beans are tender (approximately 40 minutes). While cooking, you may need to add more water a few times, but do not stir beans!
• When beans are tender add chopped pumpkin making sure that beans are still covered with water.
• Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is tender.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix beans and pumpkin lightly together and add shoyu or tamari to taste.
• Notes:Like lentils and other light beans, aduki do not really need soaking, however for improved digestibility wash and soak with kombu for 2 - 5 hours. Aduki beans (also called adzuki or adanka) are high in protein but very low in the amino acids methionine and cystine, and need to be correctly combined with other grains in order to form a 'complete' protein. Consisting of 68% carbohydrate, 22% protein, 5% fibre and 5% fat, aduki beans are a great addition to the diet. They are also high in iron, B5, B6, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and Vitamin A, but low in sodium.
