Grandma's Slow-Cooked Lima Beans Recipe

welcome back to another video right check this out you looking at the title you already seen what it is you know we going to do a southern style right we doing Southern Lia SL butter beans and guess what folks this video is sponsored by Shopify all right so if you come in here and look you see these right here look these crack ones they like a little bit of discolored or whatever I get rid of those then I spread them out make sure I don't find any rocks in here or nothing like that then all I do is take it pour them in here I'm going to do the same thing with the next batch and then we going to add some water and then I'm going to see you guys tomorrow [Music] so I'mma keep it real simple now I did 2 lbs right normally when I fill this up with water right I like to just leave them about an inch over the top but I'm going to go a little further cuz don't forget we got 2 lbs in there now all I'm going to do now is just take some Saran Wrap put it over the top set this over like in the corner somewhere and let this you know go overnight you know what I mean I'll talk to you guys tomorrow there is another way like if you want to do them last minute you can do what we call hot flash but we'll talk about that tomorrow okay look it's day two as promis right so first thing we going to do is we're going to look at these beans right here look at that right there I had to add some more water in there cuz I didn't even have enough right just to make it overnight so like if you look some of these are cracked you see this little piece right here if you can get it off great so I'm going to go through these and just take some of the ones that I can see off the top but don't worry when you put this inside there and you boil it it starts absorbing everything this kind of like dissolves this is going to help us with that thickness too now I told you guys listen if you do not remember to soak your beans cuz a lot of times cooking is like last minute right so if you didn't soak your beans you can do what you call the hot FL hot flash is very very simple and easy right get your a pot fill it up with water right what you want to do is you want to boil you get your water to Boiling once it becomes you know once it starts to boil turn it off get your beans dump them in your hot water put a lid on the top and let them sit for about an hour or an hour and 10 minutes anywhere in between there right and then after that your beans are done the first thing we going to do is I'm getting ready to okay obviously I got ham HW right I'm going use these and if you look at them man look this right here this the skin right here is kind of tough you know what I mean but what we want to do is we want to boil it down I can promise you it's so much flavor in here for those of you guys that don't do the pork what you can do is listen to this you can use a smoked turkey and right now I'm having a hard time finding it but they promised me they going to have it you know soon so I'm going to add these two inside of here right now I'm going to go ahead and go with my chicken stock what I want to do is just cover this right now if you don't have enough chicken stock on hand I'm going to show you this one thing right here better than buan this right here get you that flavor y'all see that you know I mean we can just add a little water to it actually you can just add it in a uh a bowl and mix it up to your likeness you know as far as your taste go now I want you guys to come in here and take a look at this right here let me move this so you guys can see it look I covered about halfway if you want to cover it over the top you can do that too but I leave it like that I want to to come to a boil you know really quick so I'm going to put my top on I'm going to turn it on high and I'm going to keep it you know boiling right cuz what I want to do is soften it up right we got to give it some time to you know soften up now the purpose of me boiling this is like again that's to get it soft right so I'm going to say I like to let it boil for about 30 minutes under that heat you know what I mean and then just let it soften up that way we'll have some you know meat to go along with our beans right so I'm going to say 30 minutes if you can go an hour that's good too but I always like to give my any of my protein whether it's smoke turkey ham hwk or whatever protein we're using I like to give it a head start so I'll see you guys in about 30 to 45 minutes okay folks so listen it's been 45 minutes that's how long I went to let it uh you know to boil right so I'll open this up let you guys see here's a little Pro tip I've been burned several times like that now it's burned in my brain to break anytime I open something up when it's steaming like that I break away from myself so I break it that way you see that right there that right there will get out you get out there and bite you now if you look right there look at that now because I went 45 minutes some of it kind of like evaporates cuz you can see the steam coming out the side anyway so I just added a little bit more water to it and I use that better than buan just to make up for the flavor now just a little uh Pro tip for you anytime that you uh have any water or you know liquid evaporation the flavor and everything stays in the inside and just you lose the the water the water version of it now let's talk about this right here I'm getting ready to go ahead and just make some instead of making all in video showing you guys different ways to do it but I've made limma beans before they're just you know the regular way this right here was a lot of flavor without the onion and the green pepper right the green bell pepper that right there you know that's going to be that was fire cuz that's what we grew up on right some of us had uh our grandparents do something a little different you know what I mean as far as what I'm doing right here and what you see I'm doing is I'mma add some bell pepper and some onion and then I'mma reach behind me and get some of that garlic and what we want to do is cuz we talk we want to do everything for the flavor right so we going to dice it very very small I've already started doing my onions I got them diced after I thought about it I was like no I want them even smaller so to be honest with you if you want to grate them that works great too okay folks so look come in here and take a look at the dice you see how small I done this again I could have took this and just grated my onion right so after I made it and I diced my size then I thought about it so then I made it a little smaller got my green you know my bell peppers right there break this away from myself all right we'll just leave it like this I'm going to go ahead and just turn it off for now right now let's talk about these beans right here now listen there's a whole lot of flavor in the pot right so what we want to do is get the ham hwk and all the flavor whether you're using the ham hwk you know whether you're using pork or you're using uh turkey a smoked turkey piece or whatever like that that's the flavor we going to put in here and we going to make it thick folks now what I'm going to do is I'm going to pour all this water out and then I'm going to start looking at anything that I can take out of this I will like some of that outer casing that's on the Bean if it's loose enough for me to take it out I'll do it all right so you know I went ahead and drained the water off of them right now this what I want to show you like when I find stuff like uh like this right here see how the bean just wanted to come out if I find it that way and it's just easy for me to remove it I just take it off you know take it out right so I'm just going to move this around this will help loosen up anything that's already have loosen like this you know what I mean now you don't have to do this I promise you cuz all this boils down inside of that helps with the thickening and just adds a little flavor but I like to just get it off if I can you know now now we're going to take a look at these these Haws I can see they nice they getting soft look it's getting ready to really come out I can just push this down and separate it right but we going to let it just keep working cuz the bone got that marrow in it and don't forget that's flavor too you know what I mean so we going to go ahead and let that go now I'm going to just start adding my beans in here [Music] right all right so you see this is what we come up with right now I'mma take my board and I'm just going to take and put all of my veggie in that I had cut I'll add in my my garlic you know I me some garlic and put that in there too in just a minute but right now we want to get this in here all right so look now we're getting ready to M this garlic right hey somebody come here and take a look at this and tell me is this a big garlic clove or what so let's just stick that in the inside like that put this top down on it and then watch man this is so gratifying to me all I can think about is my Grandmama had me mincing garlic you know what I mean for a long time look at that right there so easy and you know what giving you guys a heads up I'll show you in just one second this right here will be the garlic press of my choice moving forward you guys can see this was the Prototype you see right there where it says sng you know stands for smoking and Grilling these are on their way I just approved the you know the box and all the artwork so these are coming now you guys can take a look you see this minced garlic going in you know what I mean uh bell pepper onion and now you kind of like Get It just the way you see it on the top you understand why I did it on the small side right it's really about the flavor so after being in here for about 4 hours you know what I mean it's going to I can just tell you this it's going to render down some of it's going to disappear become translucent you know what I mean if I don't see green bell pepper I'd be happy you know what I mean cuz I know it's all in this pot right here right so what I'm doing is just mixing it around making sure all of the liquid you know gets you know gets done now towards the end of this I'm going to make some uh cornbread I'm going start the con I'm going start the
