@@SpainonaFork - Another tip, in case your dried beans have been stored for a while, you might want to add a little bit of baking soda to the soaking water. It helps the beans to soften up. Just be sure to rinse them very well before using, so the baking soda will not alter the flavors and textures of your other ingredients.
I have hated butter beans since I was a child. I saw an earlier butter bean recipe here and tried it. Game changer! The recipe was fabulous and I've made it on its own to have for lunch. So, I'll definitely try this one. Can't believe I'm excited about eating this vegetable!
About how many servings does this dish make? I remember being a tiny child at the table eating butter beans and each bean filled my whole mouth and I thought...this is the best bean in the world.
If you check out the recipe on his website, you have the option to increase the number of servings and the recipe will change to reflect that. It’s very helpful🙂
The more I watch your videos the more respect for you I feel. I especially appreciate your efforts with non meat and cheaper meals which is so needed these days.Thankyou
My mom always made Brisket with Browned Lima Beans, which I dearly love. She seasoned the brisket with thinly sliced garlic cloves and refrigerated it overnight. The next day she’d chop up a large onion, roughly chunk carrots and quarter or 8th large potatoes. The onions and carrots would be sautéed. The potatoes would go on top and sprinkled with plenty of paprika. The brisket was put on top of the potatoes. The fat and drippings flavors everything underneath. Water was added up the side of the brisket. Cover and cook about 2 hours. Remove the cover and continue cooking 1/2 hour or more. This reduces the liquid and coats the beans and potatoes with a Carmel color. I loved it better on the 2nd or 3rd day because the veggies got softer and browner with each day. When the potato-onion-carrots fell into the gravy it was heavenly! Salt and pepper as desired. Also great with brown spicy mustard. Sometimes I added the mustard into the water instead of S&P.
Me too -- here's a wonderful, very old, funny African-American country song, all about cornbread and butter beans. Enjoy this delightful music while eating Spanish butter beans! th-cam.com/video/1xOxHyTP91c/w-d-xo.html
Once again, another fabulous recipe. The technical hint of using plain water instead of using vegetable broth to keep from overpowering the flavor of the butter beans is such a good idea. The first house I bought was in a neighborhood that had quite a few older people that lived on excruciating low fixed incomes or retirement pensions. We all shared one newspaper, so we visited each other daily, as we walked a well-read local newspaper to the next reader's house. In my case, I had to walk over to pick up my newspaper. At least once a week, my neighbor gave me a pint of the butter bean soup, that was obviously uncomplicated by many flavors, yet smooth and satisfying. My biggest memory of the soup was how fabulous this soup was in the heat of summer, served chilled with fresh garden herbs as a garnish. By the way, my neighbor made this soup on her wood cook stove. Not a problem, but the beginning of this video said, "Happy Friday." 😉
I doubt anyone has a problem with him saying Friday instead of some other day. He might’ve made a video on a Friday but posted it on a different day, or he made the video ahead of time knowing that it would be Friday when he posted it. Rest assured, no stress needed, you can actually make this Same Dash on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and even… On Thursday. Isn’t it wonderful to have your freedom back you don’t have to do it just on Friday
You brought back memories of my childhood. My mama always cooked the large Lima Beans with small chunks and shredded pieces of ham. It was delicious and served with her infamous homemade bread and a salad from the garden. Thank you •°♡°•..•°♡°•..•°♡°•
I have loved butter beans for over 60 years, but I have always cooked them the same way my parents did, with some ham or bacon. That is delicious, but using fresh vegetables looks equally delicious. I will, as always, switch out the bell pepper with green chile peppers, but the rest looks great. As ever, thank you so much for these recipes.
You hit it correctly, here. Food prices are going through the ceiling. I am using recipes from food of the poor, this will also include Spanish garlic soup using day old bread, etc.
Albert: *_I LOVE BUTTER BEANS... Always good for the❤!!!_* Delicious! This is a WILL-make, and I cannot wait to try. Thanks again. (Fan from San Francisco, California.) *!!~
This looks delicious. I'm making it as I write. Thanks for the delicious recipe. Update: I had a lot of liquid left...more like a soup - so I boiled it with the lid off on a higher heat. After adding some salt, pepper and lemon juice, it was perfect.
One of my fav beans is the large "pocketbook" lima/butter beans in this video. Thanks for another way to cook them. I like to put mine in a pressure cooker so that come of them dissolve into a lovely thick sauce. The texture of these beans is silky.
🍃❤️I've made this before. I used a sweet red pepper, and used chicken broth. And of course, I added mushrooms! It was AMAZING!❤️🍃 Thank you for this my friend!💕❤️💕
Love Butter Beans! I added Kombu to tenderize the beans while cooking. It taste great and it give you some needed iodine and salty taste without table salt. 😊
I really like this channel a lot- highlighting how the simplest, cheapest dishes can be the most satisfying of all. Para mi, I'd cook in a good stock, a tiny pinch of saffron and a squeeze of lemon. Beautiful dish with a good hunk of bread to mop up. Simple and delicious.
Butter beans are the most luxurious of the beans - sooooo creamy and delicious, and this recipe highlights their mild, earthy flavor and incredible texture. Love this dish, Albert!
Love all your bean recipes, and have printed all of them. I have over 200lbs of beans in my survival food supply. If things ever get really bad I will be eating good with your recipes! 😁
Wonderful recipe. I resisted the urge to use broth and I’m amazed how much flavor this packs, so glad I did not deviate from your instructions. Thank you.
We used to make a simple lima beans dish in London -- soak the beans, etc., and when they were boiled softish we cooked them in bitter and garlic. But I quite like this -- though I wonder about cooking the vegetables quite that long. But they seemed to come out all right.
Interesting recipe. My mother used to heat canned, precooked lima beans with no extra seasoning. They were tough and not our favorite, but we at them to qualify for desert. 😑
@Linda Hudson 😆Exactly what happened in my home, too! Lima beans we're always my least favorite because of the texture, but they were always canned. This soup looks delicious so maybe I will have to give the dried beans a shot! (I would always eat mine come also, so I could have dessert)
I grew up eating these wonderful creamy beans! Never tried them with the peppers, onions, carrots & garlic but am quite excited to give this a try! Thanks for sharing!!!
Wonderful recipe. Looks delicious. Will surely try. Lima beans (butter beans) are low in oxalate so a great option for those who are on low oxalate diet. Thank you!!!
Thanks for showing us again that easy and affordable can be delicious. Everyone in these trying times needs economical recipes that fill you with goodness. You can upscale it as you please. Thanks for caring. It's Friday over there? Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay.
Perfect dish for tough times. Thank you! To save even more energy as gas bills go through the roof, I’m going to pressure cook my soaked butter beans for around 3-4 minutes and add them towards the end of the veggies cooking time. I guess the planet will be a bit happier too!
Nice delicious Bring back childhood memories late fifty My grand mother use to prepare basically the same only adding a few pieces of smoke ham she served it in late fall when we all return from working in the wood .Thanks always nice to see you videos.
I've got my beans soaking! I'm making this tomorrow! I don't have a green pepper, and I DO HAVE a half a red pepper plus a whole yellow pepper. Think I'll try it with half red & half yellow! Can hardly wait to taste it!!!
The problem with beans is the long cooking time to soften. This applies to other beans too. 1.5 hours like you did. If you want to cut down on the cooking time, use a pressure cooker. That classically reduces it to 1/3 of the time so it'll be done in 30 minutes. If you want to reduce it even further, add a pinch of baking soda to the pressure cooker which reduces it to a third again. So it'll be completely cooked through in 10 minutes instead of the 1.5 hours originally. Hope that's helpful.
If you soak the beans in alkaline water instead of tap, it shortens the amount of time you have to soak them and cook them faster. I usually use my rice cooker though.
I definitely suggest calamari (way bigger and better seasoned than here in the States) and whole roasted pork (somehow "porkier" and less woodsy smoke tasting than here). And, pretty much everything else!
Your tip of not salting to prevent toughness is appreciated.
Much love :)
