Serves 3
125g (4oz) aduki beans, soaked and cooked (save the cooking liquid)
The aduki beans take between 40 minutes and just over an hour to cook.
soya margarine to saute
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
1 medium leek, washed, halved lengthways and sliced thickly
1 large carrot, cut into long julienne strips
250g (8oz) mushrooms, cut into chunks unless very small
1 Tbsp sweet paprika
2 Tbsp wholemeal (wholewheat) flour
chilli sauce (eg Encona or Tabasco) to taste
1 tsp dark vegetable stock powder
1 Tbsp good soy sauce (eg Kikkoman)
1 Tbsp tomato puree (paste)
1 x 400g (14oz) can chopped tomatoes
To finish: freshly-ground black pepper and chopped fresh parsley to taste
Saute the onion in the margarine until softened and starting to brown. Add the garlic, leek, carrot and mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes, until starting to soften. Mix in the paprika and flour and stir for another minute or so. Add the remaining ingredients, including the cooked aduki beans, plus enough reserved bean cooking liquid to half-cover the ingredients.
Stir well, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more cooking liquid if it gets too dry. Season with black pepper and parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, rice or couscous.

Hmmm.. sounds lovely .. I must try and find a woman to make me some. .. and maybe they could iron some shirts while they’re waiting for it to cook.On the chopped or crushed garlic cloves issue .. .. I find the garlic smells much stronger if you crush is but it tastes stronger if you chop it … is there a scientific reason for this ?
Yes there is. Apparently chopping and crushing produces a different chemical reaction and the crushing method is more beneficial to health. I can’t remember exactly where I got that from though. Could’ve been from the Gerson Institute.
You’ve been in an Institution ???? ..

How can that be called aduki bean stew when theres twice as many mushrooms and three times as many tomatoes in it. . .
Adapt as necessary. I use 3 bags of them, 3 leeks and a whole bag of organic carrots. Double up the rest of the ingredients to suit.
The smaller amount is recommended for the more flatulent among us.
