Our weather is finally cooling down, at least for the moment. With the onset of autumn weather I usually get hungry for a ham and beans dinner, often with corn bread or buttermilk biscuits.
These butter beans are made from dried baby limas. Cooked with the salted country ham they are quite delicious. You should be able to locate country ham at farm markets that also sell meat. The type I used had bits and pieces rather than the whole steak. So it should be reasonably priced.
I serve this as I would stew- it has some vegetables in it from the mirepoix, but feel free to add other veggies to your meal if you like. And like soup beans, this is also yummy topped with a little bit of chow chow.
