Linda's Pressure Cooker Lima Beans

Recipe #272121 | 2¼ hours | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Secret Agent

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!

Posted on: Dec 16, 2007

Ingredients

  • large smoked ham hocks
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 (12 ounce) packages frozen lima beans
  • teaspoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
  • pinch thyme
  • pinch chives
  • 2 carrot, pared and chunked
  • 2 celery rib, with leaves diced
  • small onion, diced
  • 2 scallion, diced white part and pale green part
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Put the hocks and water into your pressure cooker and set for one hour on high pressure.
    2. 2
      When done, remove to a bowl while the rest of the ingredients cook.
    3. 3
      Add all the veggies and seasonings to the liquid in the pressure cooker and set to high pressure for one hour.
    4. 4
      Meanwhile, pick the meat out of the hocks and dice.
    5. 5
      When the time is up on the pressure cooker let it cool down naturally and then add the meat back to the cooker.
    6. 6
      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.
    7. 7
      Serve it up with Yankee corn bread!
    8. 8
      This recipe is for frozen lima beans, not dried or canned.
