BAKED BEAN MEDLEY



Baked Bean Medley image

This is another recipe that I got from a mother from my son's preschool. I've tried this and it is really easy to make and honestly tastes like home-made "baked all day" stuff! I did tweak it just a bit for our taste -- like by adding molasses...But anyway, it's very filling and the kids love it when I make this with a side of cornbread. Very good!

Tips:

  • Soaking the lima beans overnight: This helps to reduce the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible. Soaking the beans also helps to remove some of the oligosaccharides, which are complex sugars that can cause gas and bloating.
  • Rinsing the beans before cooking: This helps to remove any dirt or debris that may be present on the beans. It also helps to remove some of the starch, which can make the beans more creamy.
  • Cooking the beans until they are tender: Lima beans should be cooked until they are soft and creamy. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes, but it can vary depending on the type of bean and the cooking method.
  • Adding salt to the beans at the end of cooking: This helps to prevent the beans from becoming tough.
  • Using a variety of vegetables and herbs in the medley: This adds flavor and variety to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and tomatoes. You can also add herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serving the medley with a side of rice or bread: This helps to make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Lima bean medley is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its variety of vegetables and herbs, lima bean medley is a flavorful and healthy dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
