Red Dragon Pie

After mentioning red dragon pie in my http://supportinglocal.blogspot.com blog several people have asked for the recipe.


It contains aduki beans which are known as red dragons!


I have googled it and seen that there are many variations but this is the recipe that we have used for a good many years


125g aduki beans soaked over night, drained and boiled until tender (45 mins) or tin of aduki beans, drained


1tblsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 red pepper, cored, seeded and chopped into strips
1tsp paprika
1 tblsp sun dried tomato paste
2 tblsp (or 2 sachets) brown miso
1 tblsp soy sauce
150ml water


2 large potatoes boiled and mashed with 1tblsp milk


Soften the onion in the oil, covered until tender. Add the red pepper and paprika and fry covered for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, miso, soy sauce  and water. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the aduki beans.
Turn into an ovenproof dish and top with the mashed potato.
Bake in the oven 200C for 25 mins.


We sometimes leave out the mashed potato and have it with jacket potatoes or rice so you don't need to cook it in the oven!
