Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (cooked) Adzuki beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper softens.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the cooked adzuki beans and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the beans are evenly coated.
Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and mix well. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes cohesive.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or spices if needed.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a filling for tacos, burritos, or as a versatile topping for rice bowls or salads.
