LIMA BEANS AND SAUSAGE



Lima Beans and Sausage image

My husbands favorite dish, I make this often for Sunday dinner and we serve it often as a side dish with roast and gravy. We eat it over white steamed rice. My mother in law made this often so it is a cajun comfort food to us. Low in calories but high in protien and good for you. I also cook dry navy beans this same way. ...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 oz package of dry small lima beans
6 Tbsp baking soda
3/4 c yellow onions, chopped
1 Tbsp salt and pepper
1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 lb beef sausage in casing

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium sauce pan put beans and baking soda and cover with water.
  • 2. Bring to a rapid boil then remove from the stove and rinse beans in cold water, removing all baking soda. This step eliminates having to soak the beans overnight.
  • 3. Put beans, onions, garlic and salt & pepper in a medium sauce pan and cover with water.
  • 4. Cut sausage into 2" pieces and add to pot. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until beans are cooked, adding water as needed to keep the beans from sticking.
  • 5. Watch beans closely as the water will cook down quickly and you will need to replenish it often. Beans should be soupy when finished.

Tips:

  • Soak the lima beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to lima beans and sausage. Try adding other vegetables like onions, bell peppers, celery, or carrots.
  • Season the dish to your liking: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the dish with your favorite sides: Lima beans and sausage can be served with rice, potatoes, or bread.
