I am proud to announce that I am now the new chef editor of VeganWiz, a vegan community dedicated to vegan food. It's new, you are all invited to take a peep. Everybody can join and make comments plus, if you are a vegan cook, you can become a chef, create your profile and add your recipes. Unfortunately is wasn't my idea :) VeganWiz is the English version of VeganBlog, an italian community with over 250 italian chefs. There's also a french and spanish version.

Delicious Pumpkin and Azuki Bean Soup

Ingredients 3 / 4 servings:

1 kilo of pumpkin
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 teaspoon thyme (or rosemary)
sesame oil or sunflower
whole salt

1 cup azuki beans
1 liter and a half of water
whole salt

1 tablespoon shoyu (optional)

Boil azuki beans in a pressure cooker with water and salt.
In a frying pan with a lid put the shredded pumpkin, minced garlic, olive oil, salt and thyme over a low heat. Cook 20 minutes until everything is soft. Ok here we go. Blend together the contents of the two pots reserving a few pieces of pumpkin and a few spoonfuls of cooked azuki beans to be added later just before serving. Enjoy!
