Instant Pot Large Lima Beans

Serve these beans as a main dish, or as a side dish, but generally speaking, always with a side of cast iron skillet cornbread!

As always, the full recipe text with measurements and instructions are a little further down the page, just past the step by step pictures. Here's how to make them.

Rinse and sort beans, place into pot. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic, thyme, basil and pepper and stir; add the water, chicken base, ham (and ham bone, ham hocks or smoked turkey wings, if using), butter or bacon fat and bay leaves. Yes, you can certainly use chicken stock or broth, or a mixture of stock and water instead of the water and base. Seal and set for high 25 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure. Open, add parsley, taste, adding salt and/or Cajun seasoning or cayenne, as needed, to taste. Thicken, if desired as noted below. Rinse and sort beans, place into pot.
