Add a photoButter beans (another name for Lima beans) are super healthy and flavorful. I've been looking for a simple and flavorful way to cook these, and after a lot of research I found and adapted this delicious recipe. This is flavorful and hearty enough to make a full meal out of, probably accompanied by a salad or green vegetable and some crusty bread. Or serve it as a side with another entree. You can throw it together in 15 minutes which is really amazing given the flavor.
Ingredientes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion chopped, about 1/3 cup
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 15-16 ounces butter beans, canned or frozen drained or thawed (I used a can)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- a few dashes hot pepper sauce or pinches of cayenne pepper to taste
- chopped fresh flat leaf parsley for garnish (optional)
Direcciones
- Heat oil or butter in a medium saucepan or saute pan over medium heat. Saute the onion, green pepper, celery, and jalapeno until tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes with juices, beans, thyme, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving, if desired.

Making it again tonight and I like the idea of the canned beans since we live in a high altitude area and you have to do fresh beans in a pressure cooker. I use orange or yellow bell pepper in place of green and a few dashes of ground cumin.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

- 16 de Mayo de 2011Made these for a group dinner and they were delicious. I used a red pepper in place of the bell pepper but otherwise followed the recipe. Will make again.
30 de Abril de 2011I am glad to find out butter beans & limas are the same...my dad used to make a dish very similiar to this when I was a kid and it was one of my faves, but I think without the hot stuff. I haven't had limas in years and am going to try this as soon as I get to the grocery store!! Thank you John!1 reply- 30 de Abril de 2011We don't like anything too spicy, this sounds too hot??? especially for kids. Wish you would say what degree of heat it is.1 reply
