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.
