This soup is simple to toss together and then simmers on your stove or crockpot for about an hour until the flavors meld. Use canned azuki beans or start from dry beans, which will require soaking overnight and pre-cooking before adding to the soup. This soup is also a lovely side dish for adding more vegetables and protein if desired.
Rice & beans are often reserved for latin cuisine, but this Asian twist is well worth it. The azuki bean is typically enjoyed in chinese desserts, especially as a red paste. Give them some savory love as the star of a stir-fry. Another option is to substitute small red beans or edamame for azuki.
Slowly roasting eggplant in its whole pod and then pureeing it with other tastiness has to be one of the easiest, most satisfying dips to toss together. Make it as often as possible from August through October when the eggplant is fresh and at its peak. This will help reduce the bitterness eggplant often has, but we have a few tips to assist in creating a bitter-free spread.
More greens than pasta are tossed with a simple vinaigrette. Mix and match your baby greens and fresh herbs as available. Traditional basil works well, but any other variety such as Thai basil or lemon basil can work nicely too. Add more veggies, nuts or cheeses to liven it up or just leave this as simple goodness.
This simple and warming recipe is shared with us from Dr. Kaycie Rosen Grigel. Enjoy it for breakfast or a dessert.
