Introduction

The bright orange of the squash and the crimson of the adzuki beans make this quite a beautiful dish. If you like, substitute the more readily available red kidney beans for an equally dramatic effect. The beans get a 14 minute head start before the quick-cooking squash is added. Serve over noodles or rice to absorb the abundant sauce. The bright orange of the squash and the crimson of the adzuki beans make this quite a beautiful dish.

Ingredients

    1 cup dried adzuki beans, picked over and rinsed
    3 cups water or vegetable broth
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1.5" chunks

    1 to 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
    salt to taste

Directions

Place beans, water and oil in pressure cooker. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook 14 minutes. Reduce pressure with quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow steam to escape.

Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Reduce the pressure with a quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow steam to escape.

    Incredible!
    Really good smells coming out of the pressure cooker. For me the adzuki beans took longer to cook. I would have done them longer then added the rest. But good recipe. - 11/11/12
