Step-by-Step Method

7-step method
01

Boil the potatoes

Add the potatoes to a pot, cover with water, and boil until tender. Drain, mash with a fork, and loosen with 1–2 tablespoons hot water if it feels too stiff.

02

Start the vegetable base

Add the onion and carrot to a pan. Sauté with a little olive oil for 5–6 minutes until softened, or use a splash of water and cover to gently steam-sauté.

03

Add beans and rice

Stir in the cooked adzuki beans and cooked brown rice. Mix carefully so the filling stays hearty and not mushy.

04

Season and build the sauce

Mix in the soy sauce and tomato paste. Add garlic powder, oregano, basil, and marjoram. If it looks dry, splash in 2–4 tablespoons water to keep it spoonable.

05

Finish with parsley and assemble

Stir in the chopped parsley for the last minute. Spread the filling evenly in a baking dish and smooth the top.

06

Top with mashed potatoes

Dollop the mashed potatoes over the filling and spread into an even layer. Drag a spoon across the top to create ridges for light browning.

07

Bake, then rest

Bake in a preheated 200°C (390°F) oven for 20–25 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Let it rest 5–10 minutes before serving so it slices neatly.
