Aduki Beans Recipes

An aromatic, filling dish that freezes well - I love this risotto but have halved the portion size since my gastric bypass.

I usually eat it with a small green side salad.

A macrobiotic classic from 'The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics' by Jessica Porter (Great book, great cook!) that's a favorite at my house. I learned it from the author herself in a cooking class series. The kombu (kelp) is not only loaded with minerals, it helps you digest the beans -- what a bonus! Soaking the beans for 24-36 hours before cooking also helps break down the sugars that can cause gassiness for westerners.
