SOMALIAN ADZUKI BEANS
Adzuki beans are used in many oriental foods. They are usually made into red bean paste and then into desserts! In Somalia, they enjoy a dish called 'cambuulo' which is adzuki beans with butter and sugar. Since I can't go to Somalia to try it, I made up this version. I hope you like it!

ADZUKI/ADUKI RED BEAN PASTE
I'm not entirely sure how authentic this is, but I looked up various adzuki bean paste recipes since I can't get canned/jarred nearby. So I came up with this one where the first batch was too sugary so I toned it down and got it right the second time-- it's easy but not quick! Using dried adzuki beans is optimal but canned would probably do in a pinch to cut the night the beans need to soak. They must be soft and squishable. Straining overnight is important, but all in all this is easy. Adzuki paste is used in Japanese and Chinese confections and as a spread, the nutritious properties of the red beans help cancel out the pure sugar!

Steps:
- Measure out about 1 dry cup of dried adzuki beans. You will probably have leftover, adzuki beans definitely multiply when cooked. Soak the beans overnight.
- Next day, bring about 4-5 cups of water to a boil, then let the beans simmer for 35-40 minutes or until soft, with the pot lid loosely covered.
- Drain the beans, and measure out 2 cups now that they're cooked. (Save the leftover beans for veggie burger or roasting purposes, or other adzuki confections!).
- Put the cooked beans and 1 1/2 cups of sugar plus a little water into a food processor and puree it until there are almost no more bean pieces left.
- Pour the paste into a colander fitted over a large bowl, and let strain overnight (at least 6-8 hours.).
- When it's all done straining the next day, there should be a lot of liquid in the bottom of the bowl and the paste inside the colander should be nice and thick. It's ready for use now! It can be refridgerated for up to a week, then frozen for a few months for future use.

ADZUKI BEAN SOUP
I've just discovered adzuki beans, and if you've never tried them, I strongly recommend them ! They are highly nutritious, and contain 25% protein, one of the highest ratios among beans. This spicy soup is a lovely way in which to make their acquaintance. My personal preference for the fresh garden herb mixture is half rosemary/half oregano, but by all means use what you like best !

- In a large pot, bring the 6 cups water to a boil.
- Add all ingredients and boil rapidly for 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
- You may puree fully or partially for a smoother soup, but I prefer it just as it is.
- Serve with slices of GOOD bread!
SWEET AND SOUR ADZUKI BEANS
This recipe is not like the Asian Sweet Adzuki Bean recipes--it has more of a Moroccan feel to it. Here is a YouTube version of the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhh6qhSRNNY

BAKED ADZUKI BEANS WITH EGGPLANT AND TOMATOES
This isn't quite a stew, a chili, or a ratouille, yet it reminds me a bit of each. You'll just have to try it for yourself and see what you think. Whatever you want to call it, we call it tasty. Can be served as a side dish as well, but we like it on it's own accompanied by a nice loaf of a crusty bread. Plan ahead, the preparation time does not include three hour soaking time for the beans.

Steps:
- Pick over and discard any damaged beans or stones; rinse the beans, then place in a sauce pan adding plenty of water to cover; soak for a minimum of three hours (can be all day).
- Drain the beans and return to the sauce pan with enough water to cover by 2 inches.
- Add the bouquet garni and bring water to the boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the beans are tender (20 to 40 minutes); drain and set aside, discarding the bouquet garni.
- Place the eggplant cubes in a colander and sprinkle with kosher or sea salt; let drain for 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry with paper towels (this step can be done while the beans are boiling).
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 4 TBS of the olive oil then add the eggplant and saute until lightly browned on all sides (5 to 10 minutes).
- When the eggplant has browned, transfer to a large baking dish (I use an oval 35 cm X 24 cm).
- In the same frying pan, heat the remaining 2 TBS olive oil and saute the onion until it begins to soften but not brown (about 5 minutes).
- Add in the garlic and continue to saute 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, stock, allspice, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste; simmer slowly for 5 minutes, then transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
- Add the beans and the basil to the baking dish, and mix everything well.
- Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.

ADZUKI BEANS AND RICE
A hearty, economical meal that's easy to make and healthy too! Great when accompanied with sour cream and chopped scallions. To make this veggie, simply substitute the sausage with Morningstar sausages or any soy equalivent.

Steps:
- In a medium sized non-stick pot, heat the olive oil and brown the onions and garlic. Add pepper flakes, allow them to heat till aromatic. Add chopped sausage, fry until oils come out.
- Add adzuki beans to pot, stir well to blend flavours then add stock cube, onion powder and peppers. Stir for a minute or two, then add in hot water.
- When mixture comes to the boil, add in brown rice. You can adjust the amount of water at this point if it appears too dry.
- Reduce heat, allow to cook slowly with the lid half off the pot. Once rice is half cooked, then you can stir. If you stir too soon, the rice with become mushy! It should be done after 20 minutes or so, depending on the type of rice and stove you have.
- Serve warm, topped with chopped scallions, or spring onions if you like, and a scoop of sour cream will go well with this too. Delicious!
