Adzuki Beans, Roasted Tomatoes and Cornbread

Adzuki beans are small, rich-tasting red beans of Japanese and Asian derivation.  They’re often used in making sweet bean paste in Asian cooking.   Today you’ll simply combine them with caramelized onion and smoky tempeh to create a simple, yet flavor-filled, stand-alone bean dish served with hot wedges of cornbread.  

You’ll add roasted cinnamon tomatoes and pickled cucumber and onions to complete the meal.
