I have no idea if I got this recipe here or somewhere else, but this
is what I'm making with leftover ham.

Southern Creamy Butter Beans
(Large Lima Beans)
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish

1 pound bag of Camellia brand large lima beans
Water to cover plus an inch
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1/4 cup of chopped carrot
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon of thyme
10 turns of a pepper grinder
1 to 2 cups of leftover baked ham , roughly chopped
Ham bone or ham hock, if you have one
1 (32-ounce ) carton of chicken stock
4-6 cups of water
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter
2 tablespoons of dried parsley
Pinch of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama )
Couple pinches of kosher salt, or to taste

Rinse and sort beans, place into stockpot with just enough water to
cover them, plus about an inch. Bring to a boil, cover and turn off
the burner. Let soak covered for one hour. Can also simply soak beans
in water overnight.

Meanwhile, in the bottom of soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil
over medium; add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic and saute until
tender. Add the thyme and pepper and stir; add the ham chunks and
continue cooking, stirring occasionally. Toss in the ham bone or ham
hocks.

Drain the beans, return them to the pot, add the chicken stock and 4
cups of the water and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to
medium and continue cooking for about 1 hour. Stir in butter, parsley,
and a pinch of Cajun seasoning, more or less depending on how spicy
you want it. Taste and add salt if needed.

Continue cooking on a low simmer an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour,
or until beans are tender and sauce thickens. Add additional chicken
stock or water as needed. When beans are tender, taste and adjust
seasonings as desired; cover and hold on very low.

Serve over hot cooked rice with a side of cast iron skillet cornbread.

A zillion years ago someone brought 'large lima beans'
to work and I was very confused. I had only seen green
lima beans and these were definitely beige and looked
suspiciously like butter beans to me. I've eaten them
all my life and never knew they were 'limas'. Hahahaaa

They're all lima beans... there are several colors of lima beans...
butter beans is a US southern colloquialism; like pancakes, hotcakes,
flapjacks are all the same thing... like sub, hero, grinder are all
the same thing.

True, true. But I sure was expecting those beans to be green!

I've even seen calico lima beans, white with cranberry speckles... the
cranberry color disappears when cooked.

I have all four pounds soaking now, first thing tomorrow morning I'll
get on that soup. I like cooking first thing in the morning, I don't
much care to cook later in the day.

Back in the early days of my gardening experience (many years ago) I
grew all the exotic looking beans. I was so disappointed when I
discovered that cooking took all the colors away There are some
truly glorious colors and patterns in the vegetable world.

Cold ginger chicken is a dish that used to be popular here. The sauce is made with ginger, green onions and oil. A Chinese lady told me that for local folks, she makes the sauce with not too hot oil to preserve the brilliant green color. She made it that way for her restaurant. If she prepares the dish for her family she pours very hot oil over the ginger and onions. This blasts the color out of the onions but that's the way she likes it. I've never had it the way she describes but it sounds interesting.

We are the same there, Sheldon. My cooking is always done
early mornings on days off.

I'm getting ready to finish cooking Scrapple w/bacon.
What I don't eat today, I'll freeze for another time.

what a bummer. I am going to Walmart this a.m. to pick up
prescriptions and had thought that while I was there I would pick up
the lima beans. Oh, well. I'll go to Winco. That's a very
inefficient trip. 6miles to the west, back and then 4 miles to the
east..

Mine aren't pristine, several are broken, and during soaking a lot of
skins came off so I tossed them into my compost bucket, but no holes
with bugs. They are cooking now, broth tastes very good, could have
used less water but it will reduce by dinner time.

I've never, ever, had that problem with Walmart beans. They've always been
really nice.

Mine are cooking up just fine, some lost their skin, they float so I
fished them out with a slotted spoon (I probably soaked them too long
- 12 hrs). I'm simmering them very slow so it'll be awhile before
they've fully tender.

BTW, I fount the [Quoted Text] control.

Same here, I've always liked Walmart beans, no problems whatsoever (and the price is right, too!). Steve up there must have dumped a load of dead insects and used condoms into his beans, thus his reported result...

I don't really make beans, black eyed peas, etc. that often anymore, but I
used to and I've never had bad beans from Walmart and certainly not any that
have bugs inside them. Maybe I'm just lucky. Sorry I don't know what you
mean by the [Quoted Text] control.

Well, Walmart takes a hit for just about anything that goes wrong in the

You probably should shut that big <yawning>mouth of yours lest the bugs come

We call the green ones baby limas. There's also a size larger than
the regular beige one the Greeks call "gigantes" that are raved about.

The difference between white and green limas is when the bean pod was
picked. Was it picked and shelled when the pod was green and fresh?
Then you have green limas. If it was picked after the pod was allowed
to become dry, you have white limas (dried beans). The seeds for
growing plants basically come in two sizes -- large and small (baby)
Butter beans are the dried (white) version of lima beans. You can get
both colors canned -- there is a texture difference. I've only seen
the green in frozen. And that makes sense, because why would you want
to re-hydrate dried beans (commercially) and then sell them frozen?

Do you regard all women the same way when they respond to your
postings? "Inner bitch" is not a very flattering thing to say about
anyone.

Ah, the lima bean vs. butter bean debate! It's all in the packaging.
The tan ones are usually called butter beans, not limas. They're big,
but they're not the same as the large green fordhooks. Therein lies the
confusion. I like both.

Any guy that refers to a woman as a bitch or thinks that their privates is up for grabs is not a nice person. It's not rocket science but you'd be surprised at the number of folks that don't understand the concept. OTOH, maybe you wouldn't.

who fit the bill are allowed to use it.

I didn't call anybody a bitch. But then again, you're talking to Roy.

Go to a seed company catalog and search for 'butter beans.' It will
come up with seeds for lima beans. The term, as you use it, is
Southern in origin. Doesn't matter, I love 'em in any form or
preparation.

I like butter beans as long as they're a bit 'soupy.' Many
people cook them too thick. I love limas if they're the small
little fellows.

Yup! THere is an actual special type called 'butter beans' but they
are pretty much a side-kick of a large dried lima.

Nope, ther's an actual type that isnt lima for butter beans, but they
are so close, it doesnt matter. Large limas are green just like the
smaller ones, until dried.

You have an inner bitch? How nice for you, though I have always suspected
it, but guess what, you're going to have to play with yourself more than you
already do, Richard Edward. Heh.

Nope, there isn't. If you want to plant butter beans, you have to
plant lima bean seeds.

It doesn't matter to me what you did. I do not judge. I only present the truth. Either you agree with it or you do not.

Your statement was twofold:

"(1) Any guy that refers to a woman as a bitch or (2) thinks that
their privates is up for grabs is not a nice person."

I disagree with (1). There can be situations where it's justified to
call a woman a bitch.

I agree with (2). Hence my surprise that so many women voted for
President P. Grabber, which tells us that more American women than we
thought like to be grabbed by the pussy.
