I sugggest soaking them over night in water, then using them as part of a soup,
if u fry off some onions and garlic then add the beans to fry for 5-10 mins
Put these to one side and in another pot, using chopped tomatoes (tinned), veg stock, water and whatever veg you like eg broccoli, carrots, cauliflour, cabbage potatoes salt and pepper, bring to the boil and then add the beans, onion and garlic. Bring to the boil again then...
Leave to simmer for half an hour
Yum! let me know how it goes

Soak 100g of dried beans overnight, then boil them in fresh water until cooked (about an hour). Drain and keep the cooking water.
Saut� one large chopped onion, 2 sticks of finely chopped celery, one chopped red pepper, 1 small finely chopped chilli (if liked), 200g thickly sliced mushrooms and any other chopped veg you like (eg garlic, courgettes, aubergine etc), in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, for about 5 minutes. Add a can of chopped tomatoes and a canful of the water from cooking the beans and bring up to the boil. Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper if liked and bring back to the boil, simmering until all the veg are cooked, adding more water if it dries out too much. Add some dried herbs (or even fresh if you have them) and stir in the cooked aduki beans (you could use any cooked pulse here by the way), heat through and either serve up with some rice or couscous or put into a heat proof serving dish and top with mashed potato for a veggie shepherd's pie.
You could also place some of the bean stew (not too liquid) in a savoury pancake or a tortilla, roll up and place in a heat proof dish, cover with a cheese sauce and heat through in the oven.
Aduki bean salad - add cooked, drained beans to a salad of lettuce, chopped peppers, cucumber, tomato and spring onions with a simple french dressing.
They would also be nice saut�d with some garlic, turmeric and garam masala and added to soaked bulghar wheat or couscous (you might need to add a little salt to taste)... this makes a great salad or snack pot for lunch.

Just found another interesting recipe for you - similar to my veggie shepherd's pie above but called Red Dragon Pie....
