Linda's Pressure Cooker Lima Beans

Ingredients

• 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

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.
