• 1 c. Dry azuki beans
• 1 x Strip kombu, 6 - 8 inches long
• 1 c. Buttercup squash, acorn or possibly other winter squash, cubed but not peeled
• 1/2 tsp Sea salt

1. Wash beans, cover with water and soak for 6 - 8 hrs.
2. Put kombu on bottom of pot and cover with the squash.
3. Next add in soaked, liquid removed beans.
4. Add in water to just cover the squash layer.
5. Don't cover the beans at the beginning.
6. Place the bean mix over low heat and bring to a boil slowly.
7. Cover after about 10 - 15 min.
