Creamy Southern lima beans made from dried beans with strategic stirring. Perfect for holidays or a comforting meal with cornbread.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound dry large lima beans
  • 1/2 large white onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 smoked turkey wings
  • 8 cups chicken stock (preferably unsalted or low-sodium)
  • Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Inspect the dry beans, discarding any dirt or debris. Rinse the beans in a colander and let them drain.
  • Enhance the bean mixture: Combine beans, onion, garlic cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and turkey wings in a large Dutch oven. Pour in the stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer on medium-low, covered, for up to 2 hours until beans reach desired tenderness. Stir occasionally for a silky sauce.
  • Using tongs, separate the turkey wings to cool. Once cooled, shred the cooked meat with a fork, discarding the skin. Remove and discard the bay leaf before placing the shredded meat back in the pot.
  • Taste the beans, adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm. If you enjoyed the dish, please consider leaving a star rating below!
