I Can’t Believe These are Lima Beans Dish
Wait! Stop! I thought everyone hated Lima Beans, too. But don’t pass judgment until you taste these! Plus they look beautiful along side turkey, stuffing and cranberries, so give Limas a chance!
Serves 4-6
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno pepper chopped with seeds removed
1 generous Tablespoon tomato paste
2-1/2 Tablespoons paprika + 1 teaspoon for top
Up to 14 oz can of chopped Italian tomatoes
3 cans of Cannelli beans or giant white limas
Saute the onion, red pepper and hot pepper in the oil and garlic.
When onions & peppers begin to soften, add tomato paste, paprika.
Add up to 14 oz of chopped tomatoes – don’t feel the need to use the whole can. Just use enough to let about 1/8” of the tomato-y liquid fill the bottom so it steams a little.
Remove from stove-top and transfer to a glass baking dish or iron pot.
Bake covered at 325 for 30 minutes.
Uncover, add the last 1 tsp of Paprika on the top and bake another 30 minutes or until top is browned.
Serve as a side dish with your turkey! You can make it the day before and re-heat. If this recipe converts you to become a Lima bean lover, please let us know!
