Introduction

Adzuki beans (Japan) are mild and sweet-flavored. I buy them in the bulk dried beans section of my supermarket. Sometimes I use Zucchini instead of yellow squash. Salt or soy sauce to taste when served. The dish is colorful. I sometimes omit the whole cloves or use regular brown rice instead of the basmati. Adzuki beans (Japan) are mild and sweet-flavored.

Ingredients

    * *Basmati Brown Rice, 0.25 cup
    * *Yellow Crookneck Squash, 0.25 cup
    * *Onion Yellow Chopped (1/2 Cup / Serving), 1 serving
    * *Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
    * *4 whole cloves
    * *Bean, Adzuki, 0.25 cup
    * Spinach, fresh, 1 cup

Directions

Makes 1 serving @ 1.5 c

Put adzuki beans in a pot with 2 cups water and optional dash of salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.

After soaking, drain liquid and replace with 2 cups fresh water. Bring to a boil, then cover with a tilted lid to vent, and simmer on low heat 40-45 minutes until very tender. As the beans cook, add more water if necessary to keep from sticking.

Prepare brown rice according to package directions.

Slice squash and onions. Saute in olive oil with whole cloves until caramelized. Remove cloves.

Steam spinach. Drain

On a plate or casserole dish, layer rice, beans, squash/onion mixture. Top with spinach. Optional - add salt or soy sauce to taste.

Packs well for workday lunch and can be reheated in microwave on casserole setting
