LIMA BEANS 1 (16oz) Pack of raw Lima Beans 1 Half Stick of Butter 1 Onion 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 Sticks of Celery 3 Cloves of Garlic 1 lb of Smoked Pork Tasso 1 32oz Container of Chicken Broth 2 Cups of Water (from boiled beans) 1 Tablespoon of Cajun Seasoning 1/2 Teaspoon of Garlic Salt 1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper Start out buy heating a medium sized pot of water on a high heat. After you turn the heat on, wash your Lima beans and then drop them into the pot of water. Let it come to a boil. Meanwhile chop the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Once you see the beans come to a boil, set a timer for 10 minutes. Leave uncovered. In a separate pot, melt half a stick of butter on a low heat. Once the butter has melted, drop in the vegetables and begin stirring occasionally over the next 25 minutes on a medium heat. Slice up the pork tasso and chop the garlic. Add the garlic to the vegetables. When the 10 minute timer is up for the beans, drain through a strainer over a bowl to reserve the bean broth. With about 10 minutes left on sautéing the vegetables, add the tasso in. After sautéing for another 10 minutes, add some of the chicken broth to break up the bottom drippings. Once you’ve gotten all the drippings up from the bottom of the pot, add in the rest of the chicken broth, lima beans, and 2 cups of the reserved bean broth. Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic salt, pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Raise the heat to bring to a boil. Once the pot has reached a boil, cover the pot, lower to a simmering heat, and let cook for 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours. With about 45 minutes left, begin cooking some rice. After the beans have cooked down, remove the bay leaf. To thicken the liquid in the pot, remove about a cup worth of beans with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl on the side. Mash the beans and then add back to the pot. Do this until you find your desired consistency. Serve over rice and enjoy!

Hey did you go to niclestate my daughter went there .......

[@joeblow2069]

For those of us who do not live in Louisiana and do not have a Rouse's near what would we use in place of the tasso? Country ham hock? Love the channel and love your recipes bro but I cannot for the life of me understand using one bay leaf. I use 3-4 at least in most recipes. I think Tom Fitzmorris does a good job with bean recipes in his book on New Orleans cooking. He says he has been eating red beans every Monday of his life.

[@GradyRoy]

Smothered Pork Chops and lima beans is the official meal of Scott, LA !!!!! Love that stuff

[@kathleencarrigan9281]

Just watched your video. The butter beans excuse me, the Lima beans as you call them, looked great. I grew up using the same seasonings and measuring the same way. My grandfather would have a okra salad or pickled okra on the side with his meal. Nothing beats country cooking. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Kathleen Carrigan thanks for chiming in. Sounds like your grandfather threw it down!

[@media1groupDC]

Yea u right. Butter beans all the way. lol! Nice job though!

[@JhaceReed]

They're " Lima Beans" , 'Katt' ! ..... It's it's name! lol😊

[@mcmurph101]

What can I substitute for tasso? Smoked ham hock?

[@keganwallace8753]

Ive enjoyed every recipe that I've cooked from your channel. You keep it simple and super flavorful. I appreciate your efforts and hard work for us in KZbin land.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Hey thank you Kegan! That’s very kind of you to say. 👊🏻

[@mpb1116]

I made this tonight but I used Navy beans instead with sausage and tasso over rice with some fried fish and some bread rolls. It was AMAZING Thanks for your recipes. They are major hits in our home! 🥰🥰

It has been years since I cooked fresh green beans. I need a recipe for those. My dad use to love lima beans or any kind of beans. All of his children love beans so you know we are his. 😂😂😂 I love fresh frozen baby lima's. I cook that with a good beef rump roast with gravy and a Waldorf salad. Yummy! So, fresh green bean recipe please. I also want to compliment you on your pronouncing my name correctly today on your live chat. That was perfect first try. Most people skip my comments when they're live to keep from even trying.

[@johnmay8808]

Looks amazing bro! Just a little constructiveness, add you a 1/4 cup of whole milk. 😉😂

[@thefox4279]

Ninja I will definitely be trying this recipe but i will use sum smoked turkey legs. Once again thank you for everything you do. My wife and I enjoy your recipes and I have become a bootleg chef among my family.

I'm glad you made a vid of this dish...It's prob in my top 5 favorites.....it's a toss-up between limas and reds of my 2 ! lol perfect with with dem pork chops I have family in BR, hope y'all stay safe !!

[@cayogator]

my mother used to scoop out about a cup , put in blender then return the "mush" to the pot.....So I do that too ! lol be careful blending hot foods !!

[@adelefarough5123]

OMG!!! I would try this, and I don't even *like* lima beans! It does look a little bit like my navy bean soup. I like the idea of mashing some of the beans. Frankly, I don't have the patience to cook longer. BTW, great T-shirt! Stay safe down there!

[@megmcguirt647]

What do you recommend if you can't find tasso?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Meg McGuirt a good smoked sausage.

[@loripauley5169]

[@TheCajunNinja]

BookofKeys123 a good smoked sausage will work

[@BookofKeys123]

The Cajun Ninja thank you soooo much!

[@mymusicstore1]

I'm new to your channel sir. Great content! I was wondering where I can find all of your pots and pans that you use. Like the ones used here and the sausage gumbo one.

[@lindaparker6102]

[@TheCajunNinja]

[@randyadams1800]

So no soaking the beans first? Just straight out da bag into da pot?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Randy Adams boiling them first is like a sped up version of soaking

[@jaimemiller6390]

Gotta flick dat bean bah
