PAN-FRIED BUTTER BEANS



Pan-Fried Butter Beans image

I can see where a recipe title with the words 'fried' and 'butter' appearing one after the other may scare a few people off, but there's no reason to be alarmed. This pan-fried butter beans recipe is delicious, super-easy, and yes, good for you. You can substitute sherry vinegar for the white wine vinegar, if desired. You can substitute other fresh herbs for the rosemary, if desired.

SOUTHERN BUTTER BEANS RECIPE



Southern Butter Beans Recipe image

This Southern butter beans recipe combines tender and creamy beans with smoky ham for the most flavorful comfort meal.

Provided by Hayley

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb bag of regular lima beans or baby lima beans/butter beans
1 medium onion
2 ham hocks or 1 leftover ham bone, with some meat still on it
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Now, you can choose to soak the beans overnight if you want, but you really don't have to. Either way, the first step is to wash the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 1 hour.
  • After the beans have sat, drain the water and put the beans to the side. Add the oil to the pot and sauté the ham hocks and onions together, until the onion is clear and tender. Then add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes more. Add the beans and cover with water. Add pepper and salt (only about 1 teaspoon of salt at first).
  • Bring to a boil; stir, reduce heat, and cover and simmer for about 2 hours. Keep checking the water level and stirring every once in a while. Add more water if needed. Keep that water just about an inch above the beans. Cook until beans are tender, more salt here is optional. And oh the gravy this makes, oh my... so good! Serve over rice
