Adzuki beans with brown rice and turkey

Method

1. Soak the adzuki beans the night before.
2. Cut the peppers, onion and carrots in half, as we’ll blend them later.
3. In a pot, bring the drained and rinsed beans to the boil with the onion, peppers and carrots, with enough water to cover them by about two fingers.
4. Let it simmer for about 1 hour and a half, then take out the vegetables, blend them and put them back in, adding the tomato too and adjusting to taste depending on whether you want it thicker or runnier. Let it finish cooking for another half an hour.
5. While the beans finish cooking, boil the brown rice in another pot for about 20-25 minutes.
6. Grill the turkey tenderloin, seasoned with salt to taste.
7. Done!
8. To make it vegan, just swap the turkey for tofu, or leave it out altogether.
