Chile adzuki beans and rice with greens

One cup adzuki beans, sorted, rinsed

One cup brown rice

Greens of your choice

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 serrano chile, sliced

2 cloves garlic

1 handful cilantro leaves

Place the beans in a pressure cooker and cover with 2-3" of water.  Bring the pressure cooker up to full pressure and cook for 10 minutes.  Do a quick release and drain the beans to a bowl, season with salt and set aside.

Cook the brown rice according to directions.

In a blender combine the oil, vinegar, chile, garlic and cilantro, blend until smooth, taste and add salt if desired.

Heat olive oil in a large pan, add the rinsed greens and saute until done.

Top the rice with the beans and chile sauce, serve with the sauteed greens.
