Maple-honey ham imparts a smoky sweetness to these baby beans simmered in cream. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen baby lima beans, thawed |
1/2 pound maple-honey ham, diced (we tested with boar's head) |
1 cup finely diced onion |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/4 to 1/3 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish, and set aside.
2. Stir together lima beans and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; spoon into prepared dish.
3. Bake, covered, at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; stir and bake 30 more minutes or until bubbly and browned. Serve with a slotted spoon, if desired. Beans will thicken as they begin to cool.
