Pancetta is an Italian-style bacon that's cured with spices. Its meaty, slightly spicy flavor pairs well with limas. Look for pancetta near the turkey and ham in your market's deli. Ingredients:
1 cup diced pancetta (about 1/4 pound; such as boar's head) |
3/4 cup chopped onion (1 medium) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen fordhook lima beans, thawed |
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add lima beans, tomatoes, and broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer an additional 10 minutes or until beans are tender. Sprinkle with pepper.
