Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c dried aduki/adzuki beans
3 slice bacon, crisply cooked and set aside to drain (which was replaced with pancetta)
1 tsp salt
black pepper, to taste
salt-free garlic powder, to taste (or use fresh)
1 1/2 tsp chili powder, to taste
1 fresh bay leaf
1-2 Tbsp ponzu or mirin
more salt or soy sauce/braggs, for seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the aduki/adzuki beans in water overnight. After they have soaked, drain them and rinse several times. Place rinsed beans, cooked pancetta/bacon/veg bacon, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and bay leaf in the crock pot. Pour water over the beans. Cook on LOW 8-9 hours or HIGH 4-5 until tender. If I'm home all day, I set the crock pot to HIGH for about 2-3 hours then LOW until the beans are cooked.
  • 2. Drain and transfer beans to a serving bowl (save some of the cooking liquid to re-heat the beans the next day). Season to taste with salt, pepper, soy sauce/Braggs. Stir in about 2 tablespoons ponzu (mirin, rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar will work).
  • 3. Serve plain or over rice or use as a filling for burritos, steamed tortillas or taco shells. Another way to serve the beans as we did would be as a rice bowl. Line a serving bowl with greens (spinach, collard, turnip greens, arugula, etc.). Add a spoonful of beans, then rice. We garnished the rice bowls with our favorite toppings: sliced grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro and diced white onion then finished with a drizzle of https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/quick-easy-japanese-salad-dressing.html?p=2.
