Aduki Bean Casserole

Earthy nutty aduki beans with bright, tart sweet pomegranates, fresh mint and warming fenugreek; Aduki Bean Casserole.

Stumble into an ocean of pure lushness. And, ingest

This dish will demystify any belief that vegan food can’t be incredibly experiential and and lush.

Make this:

• When late summer beckons – it time to have seasonal pomegranates and fresh cooling mint
• When you’ve got grilled veg, roasted grains or even a Mediterranean spread. It’s time to dust off those shoes and get into the vibrant mood for an exquisite pairing
• When you’re on the hunt for a vivacious unique dish for a picnic that’s warming and nourishing

Aduki Bean Casserole was inspired when attending a potluck organised by my friend Jessica. I wanted to have colourful dish that touched the colour wheel. After all, we eat with our eyes.

Aduki beans are just so versatile; there is something about their texture and distinctive taste. Fenugreek is one of those spices that I find really contrasts with the aduki beans. Why not give this Mint Pomegranate Aduki Bean Casserole a try?

This casserole dish is vegan.
