Title: Vegan Munggo
Categories: Filipino, Vegetarian
Yield: 4 Servings

1 c Mung beans (2-1/2 c cooked)
1/2 c Water or stock
3 cl Garlic; minced
1 md Onion; sliced
1 c Tomatoes; diced
1 Lime; juiced
2 c Fresh baby spinach;
- up to 3 c
1/2 ts Salt

Total time: 30 minutes, 90 minutes with no pressure cooker

Mung Beans:

Combine beans and stock in the pressure cooker over high heat. Lock
on the lid and bring to high pressure. Reduce the heat to maintain
high pressure for 6 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally.
Remove the lid, carefully tilting it away from you.

Soup:

Heat the oil in a saute pan or your pressure cooker over medium high
heat. Add the garlic and saute for a minute but don't let it brown.
Add the onion and saute it for 5 minutes or until it's translucent.
Add the cooked beans and the tomato and cook for another few minutes
until the tomato is incorporated. Add the lime juice and spinach.
Cook until the spinach is wilted. Add salt, to taste. Serve hot.

Tips:

For me, mung beans don't get quite mushy enough when they go straight
into the pressure cooker. So I soak them overnight--up to 24
hours--before cooking. I also bring them to a boil first and skim the
foam before fastening down the lid for pressure cooking. Cooking time
is the same, but the beans are much softer.

I also don't cook the mung beans in stock because I never have any on
hand. Instead, I add a bay leaf and my favorite spices and herbs to
the oil after the onion is sauteed. If I had stock, or even a
bouillon cube, I'd use that as well as adding the spices.

Sprouted Mung Beans:

After being soaked overnight, mung beans will start to sprout. If
you'd like some sprouts, set some soaked beans aside, rinse, add to a
shallow glass pan or dish, keep moist (a water sprayer works
perfectly), and rinse off the skins when the tails are 1/4 to 1/2"
long. It won't take long, maybe another 24 hours.
