Many Pennsylvania Dutch dishes trace their origins to the 17th-century German immigrants who farmed the southeast part of the state. This bean bake, with its tangy-sweet sour cream sauce, is one of them. Ingredients:
1 pound dried baby lima beans |
4 cups water |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided |
cooking spray |
1 cup chopped yellow onion |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar |
3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces |
1 tablespoon molasses |
2 teaspoons dry mustard |
1 cup light sour cream (such as daisy) |
Directions:
1. Sort and wash beans; place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain beans; return to pan. Add 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Wipe pan dry with paper towel. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Combine beans, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, onion mixture, broth, and next 4 ingredients (through mustard) in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Remove from oven; stir in sour cream. Serve immediately.
