After soaking, drain the water and rinse with cool running water. To Overnight-Soak: Place the sorted, washed beans in a pot and add cups of water per cup of beans. Cover, and place in the refrigerator overnight about 8 hours.
To Cook Canned Lima Beans: Pour the beans in a saucepan and heat them on medium for about 10 minutes.
When fully heated, do not drain the water, add seasoning to taste. Cover and cook on high for 8 minutes. Fresh lima beans are not generally available, but can sometimes be found at farmers markets or specialty grocery stores. Fresh lima beans should be stored whole, in their pods, and in the refrigerator for two days. If frozen, they do not need to be thawed before cooking.
Lima beans may be frozen, canned, or dried. Warm slowly without stirring. If you do use a slow cooker does the stirring rule still apply? Ask your mom.
Otherwise this is my go-to comfort food. I finally had to learn to make these after having them in a soul food restaurant in Amarillo. I guess they help thicken the soup? Was I supposed to cull through them and remove them before cooking? Just wondering…. Hi Ella! You can take them off, but the the beans will essentially cook to mush. Lots of folks like that, others, not so much.
I used to soak mine because my mom did.. Excellent recipe! My mom taught me to cook dried limas and I soak them because of tradition. I also serve them in a bowl topped with chopped fresh tomatoes, onions and red wine vinegar. A homemade hot biscuit makes this a full and hearty meal. I have a pot on the stove right now. Going to make a pone of cornbread to go with it. We like to make bean salad with butter fat beans. We just used canned butter fat beans oil and vinegar salt and pepper and minced garlic.
I cannot find nor have been able to find for over a year canned butter fat beans. If anyone knows where I can find them, please let me know. I live in New Hampshire. Can you actually stir the beans too much? The reason I ask is because I was trying to get the liquid broth around my beans but it seems that the broth solidified too much.
I like the broth to be where you can actually drink it. I tried to keep the water level over the beans at the right level while cooking. How can I make sure I have the liquid broth and not with the mashed potatoe texture? Thats what I was thinking also. Perhaps I just stirred a little too much but you know another thing is that every time I soak the beans overnight , my broth turns out very nice, not mushy. I tried his method of not soaking the beans overnight and thats where I ran into trouble but I think it was because maybe I stirred a little too much.
Thank you for your input! It does seem Texas needs to learn a bit about energy. My favorite meal growing up, butter beans, fried chicken and my mamas biscuits. I loved the butter beans so much that when I had my tonsils out at age 30 it was all they could get me to eat.
I make a soup out of dried beans either large or small and I do soak and always with a good cottage ham. I cut the ham in half to get the most flavor and also add lots of chopped onion.
The cottage ham makes this recipe. The meat comes out super tender and silky. I usually like these over white rice with pepper vinegar splashed all over it. The thick broth mixes with the rice to make a stew. I used pork jowl instead of hock and added acv. They were absolutely delicious. Any suggestions?
You can always ladle some out. This is how I make them as well I use smoked turkey necks so delish. It does both just change the lids. Thanks ahead of time…. Thanks, Brandy! This is going to sound crazy but I promise it is very good! The ketchup comment reminded me of it lol. Add a large can of diced tomatoes and half can of water.
Let simmer a few minutes. Add one package of Ball Park franks sliced in bite size circles and leftover Lima beans. Cook until heated through. Completely changes it up! One of our favorites as kids to eat next day for lunch???? My Mom made these for dinner frequently and I loved them!
But she added a tomato sauce near the end of cooking. Unfortunately her recipe passed with her. Once she said the tomato sauce was just tomato soup! Any ideas? I also think she added garlic…because she added garlic to everything!
I am a widow and do not want to cook up a whole pot of beans! Technically, they will last indefinitely, but they lose moisture as they sit. Old beans take longer to cook, and they fall apart more easily.
Really old beans may refuse to soften at all. Cooked beans will keep for up to five days, stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Frozen cooked beans will retain their shape better if you thaw them slowly in the refrigerator. This version of the classic Italian bean-and-pasta soup features butter beans giant lima beans. The meaty yet silky texture of the beans contrasts nicely with the chewy ditalini pasta. This simple treatment….
