SKILLET LIMA BEANS



Skillet Lima Beans image

Skillet dishes are the cornerstone of Gullah cooking, and these lima beans are made in my favorite skillet-cast-iron. Instead of simmering the lima beans for hours and hours, I've added a fresh take to the traditional Lowcountry side dish by adding bell peppers and tomatoes.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (3 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound thick-cut bacon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1 white onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 cups fresh or frozen lima beans, thawed if frozen
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (about 1 cup)
Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 1/2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet to paper towels, reserving the drippings in the skillet. Crumble the bacon once cooled.
  • Add the butter to the drippings in the skillet and heat until melted. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the lima beans and garlic. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the lima beans are tender and the broth has evaporated, about 25 minutes.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GARLIC AND BACON LIMA BEANS



Sarasota's Spicy Garlic and Bacon Lima Beans image

I actually really like Lima Beans. But, I realize I'm probably in the minority. Salt, pepper and butter is all I need, but this is a great recipe for them. I try to get a few of my "picky" friends to try new vegetables now and then, and this is one of them they really liked. Just a few ingredients takes ordinary frozen vegetables and makes them a great side dish. NOTE: Some think that butter beans are the same as lima beans - and they are - well similar. Both are lima beans, but they are 2 separate varieties. The baby lima beans are the small green ones; whereas butter beans are actually Fordhook, and they are larger and buttery in color (hence the name butter beans), and they do have a stronger flavor. You can buy both frozen, canned, and dried; but difficult to find fresh. For this dish I use frozen. It makes it a quick easy dish.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen baby lima beans, thawed (the small green ones)
4 -5 slices bacon, diced (I prefer a smoky flavor)
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic (you can use more or less, according to taste)
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 pinch red pepper flakes (more or less depending on taste)
1 teaspoon butter (you can add more if you like)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Bacon -- In a medium sauce pan, add the bacon and begin to saute on medium heat - don't try to rush it. After the bacon begins to crisp up, drain any excess drippings from the pan. I leave just enough drippings in the pan (1/2 teaspoon), to coat the onion and garlic.
  • Onion and Garlic -- Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the pan with the bacon and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Beans -- Finish it up. Add the broth, beans and butter and simmer uncovered (medium heat) for 5 minutes or less until the beans are warm and the broth is reduced. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve and enjoy!
