Southern Lima Beans With Rice Recipe Foodcom

Steps:

• Spray a casserole pan with olive oil.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Saute pepperoni garlic and onions till translucent add sugar till melt.
• Add beans and cheese mix together.
• season with hot sauce, salt and pepper.
• Toss into prepared dish.
• Dot with butter, cover and bake 30 minutes.

Steps:

• in a 10" skillet melt butter until sizzling, stir in bacon and onion. cook over med-high heat, stirring occasionally about 5 minutes. drain. reduce heat to medium, stir in remaining ingredients. continue cooking, stirring occasionally until lima beans are tender about 8 to 10 minute.

Steps:

• Sift through the beans for “Foreign Bodies” and rinse.
• In a stock pot, cover the beans with 2 inches of water and soak for 4-5 hours.
• Chop the baked ham rind to about 1/4 inch squares.
• If you use bacon, cook it off about three quarters of the way to render out some of the fat and drain well before chopping.
• (Reserve the fat for the roux later, at your option!) Drain the soaking water, add the meat to the beans and cover with water by about 2 inches.
• Bring the beans to a slow boil, add the Liquid Smoke, salt and pepper, cover and reduce the heat to a low simmer until tender.
• (From 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the beans and the heat so check them often.) When the beans are nearly tender, in a small sauce pan, mix the flour and oil (you can use the leftover bacon fat) and heat, mixing until bubbling.
• Because of the variable of how much water is left in the beans, I’ve found it’s better to thicken the sauce backwards.
• Start spooning bean water into the roux to thicken it to a paste (like thin mashed potatoes) then adding the paste back into the beans a tablespoon at a time, and stirring to the desired thickness.
• Keep in mind it won’t fully thicken until it comes to a boil and it may take a few tries to get it how you want it.
• Serve in a large bowl topped with the chopped Pecans.
• Any leftovers will freeze.
