Roasted Lima Beans Recipes

ROASTED COD WITH LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 4 (15-inch) long sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface. Divide the frozen lima beans among the foil sheets (about 3/4 cup per sheet). Place 1 teaspoon of olive oil 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper on each pile of beans and gently toss to combine. Place 1 piece of fish over each pile of beans. Pour 2 tablespoons of white wine over each of the fish and sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Seal up the foil packets.
• Place the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Gently transfer the beans and fish to a serving plate and serve immediately.

ROASTED LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Place the beans and water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans are just soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat. Drain the beans and cool under running water. Drain thoroughly and spread on paper towels to dry.
• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Toss beans with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Spread beans out on a baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until beans begin to brown slightly. Serve warm or room temperature.

SEARED LIMA BEANS WITH ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread out the pepitas on a baking sheet; transfer to the oven and roast until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. Let cool to room temperature, then grind the pepitas in a food processor to a coarse-milled consistency.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and heat until very hot, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lima beans and sear on one side until light golden brown, 3 minutes. Add the green onions, parsley, roasted pepitas and the lemon zest. Stir, and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and season with salt to taste.
• Add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired tanginess is reached. Serve right away or else the lima beans might never make it to the table!!!

LIMA BEANS AND ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• 1. Bring the lima beans and 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 5 minutes for frozen beans. Drain and set aside.
• 2. While the lima beans are simmering, put the 4 cups of corn and 2 inches of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• 3. Drain well and roast the corn in a large, dry cast iron skillet, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lima beans, chives, tarragon, butter, salt and pepper. Cook until the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. Serve at once.

POT ROAST WITH SOY OR LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large ovenproof skillet that can later be covered over high heat for about a minute. Add oil and, after a moment, meat. Immediately transfer to oven. Let sit there for 10 minutes, then turn and brown other side for 10 minutes.
• Remove meat from oven, and sprinkle with pepper. Add beans to pot, along with soy sauce and 1 cup water. Cover, and return to burner, adjusting heat so mixture simmers. Cook slowly, turning about every half-hour, until meat is very tender, at least 2 hours (and not unlikely 4). If heat is low enough -- just a few bubbles should appear at a time -- you will not need to add more liquid, but do so if the mixture threatens to dry out.
• When meat is done, taste, and add salt if needed; serve with beans and sauce.
