Butterbean or Pea Recipe
Ingredients
- Fresh Shelled or Frozen Butterbeans
- 1 Pack Goya Ham Seasoning or Ham/Bacon Trimmings
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- If they are fresh vegetables you just purchased, then wash them at least 2 times to ensure that they are clean and any trash is picked out of them. (If they are already blanched and frozen, let them thaw and skip to Step 2.)
- Place them in a pot, add water to cover the vegetables, and then place them on the stove at med-high heat for at least 30 minutes to an hour (depending on variety). Lady fingers, sandy, white acres, and other young/green peas need to cook longer than any different varieties.
- Add your flavoring. That can be olive oil with salt and pepper, Goya seasoning, or a piece of ham or bacon. Season them to your personal tastes.
- Once they are finished cooking, remove them from the heat and serve. They should be tender and not hard or crunchy.
