Adzuki Beans and Kale Salad

Adzuki beans originated in East Asia and are not very common in US grocery stores so I bought mine online from Japan. Used the last to make a salad with Dino kale and pine nuts.  In addition to their nutritional value, what I like about Adzuki beans is their texture; they don't get soggy like some beans. This recipe called for sautéing garlic in olive oil and adding chopped kale, cumin, tamari, and coriander. After a few minutes, the cooked beans are added and simmer for about 20 minutes. I added pine nuts and served it over wild rice. Not much color contrast but the taste was delicious and it is filling.
