Ingredients

🥬 2 pounds of lima beans (fresh or frozen)
🍗 2 smoked turkey wings
🧅 1 large onion, chopped
🧄 3 cloves of garlic, minced
🥕 2 carrots, sliced
🌿 2 bay leaves
🍂 1 teaspoon thyme
🧂 Salt to taste
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🥄 1 tablespoon olive oil
🔥 6 cups of water or chicken broth
🍚 2 cups of long-grain white rice
💧 4 cups of water (for rice)
🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

1- Preparation:

  • Begin by rinsing the lima beans under cold water. Set them aside.

2- Sauté Vegetables:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and sliced carrots, and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

3- Cook the Turkey and Beans:

  • Add the smoked turkey wings to the pot, followed by the lima beans.
  • Stir in the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour in 6 cups of water or chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are covered.

4- Simmer:

  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lima beans are tender and the turkey meat easily pulls away from the bones.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5- Prepare the Rice:

  • While the beans and turkey cook, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the rice, and a pinch of salt.
  • Cover, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.

6- Finalize the Dish:

  • Once the lima beans and turkey are ready, remove the turkey wings.
  • Debone the turkey meat and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Return the meat to the pot and stir to combine.

7- Serve:

  • Serve the lima beans and smoked turkey over a bed of fluffy white rice.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
