Recipes
My
Grandmother’s Lima Beans
(This is not her recipe but it tastes as I
remember it)
2 cups dried limas (baby or bigger)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 good size onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
sea salt (it has all the minerals, regular salt is like wonder bread)
1 large can (28oz) diced tomatoes (I recommend Muir Glen organic)
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian Paprika (get this in a health food or specialty
store if your market does not have it – regular paprika does not have the
same taste)
1-2 inch piece of kombu (this is a sea vegetable. I always use it when
cooking beans.) It adds minerals, makes them creamier and helps alleviate the
classic problem experienced when eating beans) It will dissolve in the cooking.
Soak the beans overnight or for several hours.
Sauté the onions and garlic in oil until golden.
Rinse the soaked beans, cover with fresh water, add the kombu and bay
leaves and cook until soft but not mushy.
Drain, save the water to use as stock for a vegetable soup.
Add the onions and garlic, the paprika and tomatoes and season to taste with sea salt. Salt and tomato products will stop beans from getting soft, so it is important to add them after they are cooked well. Mix together gently, they should be creamy and tasty. Enjoy!
