Green Baby Lima Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Shell the beans (if fresh) and wash thoroughly. Put 4 cups water and the salt in a medium saucepan and add the beans. Cook the beans until tender, about 30 minutes (if using frozen, cook about 10 minutes).
• Drain the liquid and stir in the butter. Sprinkle lightly with the pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add lima beans, and enough water just to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until beans are tender.

Steps:

• Pour the beans into a non-reactive bowl. Sort through and remove any debris such as rocks, dirt and imperfect beans. Add enough lukewarm water to completely cover the beans. At room temperature, soak the beans for about 4-6 hours. Drain beans, discarding water, then give one more rinse.
• Place the beans into a 5-6 quart Dutch oven. Add remaining ingredients, exluding the salt. (Sauting the veggies isn't necessary and adding salt at the beginning may toughen the beans.).
• Bring to a boil, cover then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, monitoring water level and adding more as needed. After an hour, add salt to taste and continue to simmer, covered, until beans are very tender and liquid creamy, approximately an additional 3/4 hour. Note: When nearly finished, press beans several times with the back of a large spoon against side of Dutch oven to encourage thickening of the sauce.
• Serve over fluffy white rice. Freezes well.

Steps:

• Shell the beans and wash thoroughly. Put 2 cups water and the salt in a medium saucepan and add the beans. Cook the beans until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the liquid and add the butter. Sprinkle lightly with the black pepper before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan bring water to a boil.
• Place frozen lima beans, bacon drippings, salt and pepper in water. Cover with a lid. Turn heat down to very low heat and let simmer for an hour and 15 minutes. Keep a watchful eye and do not let water boil out.
• Pour drained can of corn kernels into bean mixture and simmer 15 more minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!
