How to Cook Lima Beans

  • www.southernfru... Lima beans have 7-8 grams of protein per 1/4 cup of dried beans. If you eat a cup of cooked beans it would certainly equal the protein in a meat product. They are loaded with many nutrients and lots of fiber. So very healthy.

    When I cook my white limas I still go back for Ole Times watching this Sweet Lady and say again "Thanks for the Memories Phyllis" I know you are cooking in Heaven.

    Thanks so much for this simple recipe. My mom used to cook these Lima Beans, she called them "Butter Beans" when I was a child and I loved them so much. Recently I was looking for a way to cook them without the meat she used to use. I've cooked them many times and jazzed them up with onion, garlic, seasoning salt, Mrs Dash etc only to not like them that way. The other day I threw some Butter Beans in a crock pot and added a dash of seasoning salt. I loved them! It seems for me, this bean tastes better when it is cooked in a simple manner.

    Thank you for watching my video on lima beans. I just pick off the skins that come lose on their own and leave the rest. Cooking them on just simmer should keep the skins on otherwise you'll just have a cream type soup.
    Remember the package the beans come in says to cook them on low, usually. I love lima beans they are my favorite dried bean and have as much protein as peanut butter. Hope this helps, Phyllis

    Very good method and well done. My Bigmama would add a pinch of baking soda like you did, help with gas, but now I realize it was for softening, too. My grandparents and parents grew up poor in the south. But they ate very good dishes. We ate the limas OVER rice, plenty of gravy and a great side dish ! Thanks.

    Really liked your comment. If you only knew how much I missed eating fried fatback with these lima beans. I can taste it now sooooo good. If I ate like that now I would be as big as the side of the barn. You really do get use to not using meat to season vegetables. It was really hard to make the switch to more healthy seasoning, we made that switch about 20 years ago but I still would love to have a piece of fried fatback inside a hot biscuit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

    Trying your way Phyllis >>>>While my lima's were soaking/simmering after the 2 minute boil ....in another pot on medium I cooked in water ....sliced carrots, onion, celery and diced ham. I also added large pieces of Ham Salt back for flavoring ....so good!!! Question, do you have to rinse limas after the second simmering to get the baking soda out!! Tonight, I suppose I will rinse limas again ....and then add the above veggies and the broth (removed Salt back pieces). I plan to simmer all for another hour until limas really soften and make a little bean gravy!

    I live in Cambodia and I found Australian lima beans in a supermarket and I decided to buy them. I soaked them overnight (maybe too long) but the peel started to come off by itself. Is that normal? I'm going to boil them next and then cook them with onions and potatoes...

    • @PhyllisStokes
      @PhyllisStokes  6 років тому +3

      The peeling or shell does tend to come off the large Lima beans. I actually like it when some of the shells come off because it gives the beans a lot of thickness. Some of the shells are going to always come off so no problem. You do have to be careful and watch the beans when cooking them because they can burn on the bottom of the pot because of the thickness. Those shells that come off can be picked out and thrown away.

      I only use the 3 boil technique on pinto beans, we don't seem to have a problem with any other type beans. I boil the Lima beans then let them sit in the water for about an hour, pour off that water and use fresh water to boil till tender. Can't imagine Lima beans being toxic in anyway.

      sythlorde canola oil/vegetable/soybean oil is very bad for your health...please give it up. Use coconut oil, palm oil, organic lard/tallow (in some case olive oil if you are cooking at low heat). Eat like your mom and grandma use to eat! Remember there were no fat people in the 1920's 30's... Obesity and heart attacks started after corporations begin to use soybean oil/vegetable oil rather than coconut oil and lard.
