BDukes Lima Beans, Cabbage and Smoked Sausage

I had some left over cabbage and ham hock and threw this together. This is delicious served over cornbread. I was very surprised because it sounded yucky.

Step: 1

In a large pot, combine the lima beans, ham hocks, water, cabbage and butter. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and set a lid on top but leave a crack for steam. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lid, add the tomatoes and sausage; simmer with the lid on until beans are completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a make dishes method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked whole , and the liquid completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor goes way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
