FAQ
What are adzuki beans and are they gluten-free?
Adzuki beans are small red beans; they’re naturally gluten-free, but check labels if you’re using canned products.

The artichoke is prepared by trimming the stem and outer leaves, hollowing the heart, then filling with mashed adzuki beans and herbs, and cooking until tender.
Is this dish vegan?
Yes. It uses plant-based ingredients only.
How many servings does this yield?
Typically 2–4 servings, depending on portion size and sides.
How should I store leftovers?
