Lima Beans with Bacon and Onion
Recipe courtesy of Everyday Food
In a large skillet, cook 3 slices of bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, over medium until crisp and fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. To skillet, add 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced small, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen lima beans, thawed, and season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lima beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in bacon and 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 4.
I love saying lima beans, it's just so fun! This looks fantastic going to have to try it! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan and this looks delicious. But then again, take anything and saute with some bacon and onion and I'll partake.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Amy.
ReplyDeleteyum! I love lima beans, too. I totally agree with you about their cuteness :)
ReplyDeleteI could eat only that and be so satisfied..
ReplyDeleteWho likes those big ones? Fordhooks I think they are called, yum with bacon and onions, going to the grocery now.
ReplyDeleteLOVE lima beans. I too saw this recipe in the latest FOOD issue and can't wait to try it myself.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great too! Enjoy your weekend.
Best,
Amy
WOW does that look GOOD! Of course bacon makes everything taste better. Invite us over anytime. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a big fan of lima beans, but maybe I'll try this out sometime :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I cannot stand lima beans, BUT... if prepared with bacon and onion, I just may have a new friend. Thanks for posting this recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat looks AMAZING, and I don't even normally like lima beans that much!
ReplyDeleteBacon makes everything better!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your picture on Tastespotting and I was like, "Ohhh!" I never thought of doctoring up lima beans like this but it sure does look good!
ReplyDeleteThis is the same way that my mother-in-law prepares brussel sprouts. The only difference (besides the brussel sprouts) is balsalmic vinegar instead of sherry. So delicious. I will try this version, while brussel sprouts are not in season :)
ReplyDeleteThe balsamic vinegar sounds good, but you gotta have the Bacon and some of the grease with it. Mix the grease with some flour and stir into the sprouts or even into sauerkraut. It's very good with cooked fresh polish sausage.
