Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound dry baby lima beans
  • 4 cups cubed, chopped or shredded fully cooked ham
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Optional:  fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instruction

  • Rinse and sort beans in a colander, removing and discarding any debris.
  • Place beans and remaining ingredients (except parsley) in the insert of your Instant Pot (I used an 8 quart) and stir well to combine.
  • Place the lid on and lock.  Steam release knob should be set on “sealing”.
  • Cook on manual setting (high pressure) for 25 minutes.  Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove lid and stir.  Remove and discard bay leaf.  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
