REALLY DELICIOUS LIMA BEANS
Steps:
- In a skillet, heat the bacon over moderate heat. When partially rendered, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the onions, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until really tender. Add the garlic, tomato, tomato puree, and hot chili pepper and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the lima beans, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until they have had a chance to absorb the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with grilled Italian sausages or breakfast sausages.
SOUTHERN LIMA BEANS WITH RICE
I was born and raised in the south, and we eat a lot of beans. Here is a easy and basic lima bean recipe. We've been doing it this way for years. You can use ham hocks, hambones, smoked bacon or smoked sausage for the pork flavor in this dish. Also fresh, frozen or even canned beans can be used--they just won't have to cook as long.

Steps:
- I know the bag says to soak the beans overnight, but you really don't have to.
- Wash the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 1 hour.
- After the beans have sat, drain the water and sit the beans to the side.
- Add the oil to the pot and sauté the ham hocks and onions together, until onion is clear and tender, add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes more. Add the beans and cover with water.
- Add pepper and salt--only about 1 teaspoon of salt at first.
- Bring to a boil; stir, reduce heat and cover and simmer for about 2 hours.
- Keep checking the water level and stirring every once in a while. Add more water if needed, but not too much.
- Just enough to keep about 1 inch of water above the beans as they cook.
- Cook until beans are tender, adding more salt if needed. The water will turn into a wonderful gravy. Serve over rice.
