Loved this combination. Added fresh garlic and lime zest.

I changed the recipe a bit after reading the comments and used my home-made veggie stock instead of water. I also first sprouted the adzuki beans before cooking, and sautéed the onions, garlic, ginger, diced carrots and diced celery in olive oil before adding to the slow cooker. After cooking on low for 8 hours overnight, my beans still donât taste soft. Iâm not sure why that is...

Great recipe, very tasty! I added a fresh turmeric root just because I had on hand. This will be my go to when I have beans.

First time also using adzuki beans. Very good but did I read well......4 servings?! My husband added some homemade hot sauce. He loved it. I also added salt and pepper at the end. Will make again

I cheated a little and used canned adzuki and it still turned out delicious!

This was my first time cooking with adzuki beans and they turned out very good. I was afraid they wouldn't get soft because it seemed to take a long time until they started feeling more tender but they were done in 8 hours. I added a little more cumin and some salt towards the end of the cooking time because the broth seemed a little on the bland side.
