This is a delicious stew of made from corn, Lima beans, ham, stewed tomatoes, and spices. I like to serve it over rice, a remnant of my Louisiana origins. Leave out the ham for a equally tasty vegetarian version.
Total Time: 30 - 35
Yield: 8 - 10 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 ham steak ($5.00)
- 1 medium onion, chopped ($.50)
- 12 oz Lima beans, frozen ($2.00)
- 2 cups frozen corn ($1.50)
- 2-3 cans petite cut tomatoes with garlic and olive oil ($2-3.00)
- olive oil for browning onion
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 tsp oregano or to taste
- water as needed
Steps:
- Remove fat from ham steak and dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Chop onion.
- Lightly brown ham in Dutch oven. Remove.
- Add onion and a bit of olive oil and cook until translucent.
- Return ham to pot.
- Add Lima beans, corn, tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and bay leaf. You may add additional water as needed.
- Simmer over low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
- Serve over rice, if desired.
