Crockpot butterbean stew
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pounds | Large dried limas; (butterbeans) |
| Water | ||
| 1 | tablespoon | (rounded) dried onion; or to taste* |
| 2 | Chipotles; (dried type), torn up, or to taste | |
| 2 | teaspoons | Rosemary |
| 2 | smalls | Bay leaves |
| ½ | teaspoon | Thyme |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Celery seed ** |
| Salt to taste | ||
| Brown rice; maybe a cup | ||
Directions
* don't substitute fresh; surprisingly, in this dish, it's not as good.
** very approximate, but don't overdo it. several dashes Maggi seasoning (look near the Worcestershire in most supermarkets, or with the Latino food at Meijer's; it's a dirt-cheap vegetarian way to add richness to soups and stews).
Put everything but the Maggi, rice and salt in a crockpot (salt makes beans get tender much slower.) Cook on "high" till the beans are tender and the smell is driving you crazy; 20-30 min. before ready to serve, add rice, salt and Maggi.
Makes maybe five or six big bowls.
