LINDA'S PRESSURE COOKER LIMA BEANS

Linda's Pressure Cooker Lima Beans image

I hate lima beans. They are grainy and gross. My husband LOVES them so one day I accidentally made lima beans that I absolutely adored. It was a timing mistake, but a delightful mistake! The beans were supposed to cook for 20 minutes but I set the timer for 60!

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 large smoked ham hocks
1 1/2 cups water
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen lima beans
2 teaspoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1 pinch thyme
1 pinch chives
2 carrots, pared and chunked
2 celery ribs, with leaves diced
1 small onion, diced
2 scallions, diced white part and pale green part

Steps:

Put the hocks and water into your pressure cooker and set for one hour on high pressure.
When done, remove to a bowl while the rest of the ingredients cook.
Add all the veggies and seasonings to the liquid in the pressure cooker and set to high pressure for one hour.
Meanwhile, pick the meat out of the hocks and dice.
When the time is up on the pressure cooker let it cool down naturally and then add the meat back to the cooker.
Test a lima bean - they should be creamy with no grainy texture at all. If they are grainy turn the pressure cooker on for about 15 more minutes.
Serve it up with Yankee corn bread!
This recipe is for frozen lima beans, not dried or canned.

SLOW COOKER LIMA BEANS

Slow Cooker Lima Beans image

One of my favorite meals as a child was when my mother would cook a big pot of lima beans with ham, and we would eat it over rice with cornbread. She used a pressure cooker, but I prefer the slow cooker, and I've tweaked the ingredients just a bit from how she would make it. Great for when you're in the mood for some good down-home comfort food :)
