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!

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.
