Baked Lima Beans with Onions
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dried lima beans
- 1cup onion cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon french Dijon mustard
- 2" strip kombu
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
After soaking the beans overnight in cold water, drain and place in a pressure cooker with 2 1/2 cups of water. Quickly rinse the kombu under cold running water and place at the bottom of the pressure cooker. Bring up to pressure and cook for 1 hour. While beans are cooking preheat the oven to 350 F. Take a deep sided baking tray and put the onion and olive oil at the bottom. Mix up the onion with the oil to evenly coat each piece. Bake in the oven turning occasionally and remove once the onion has begun to brow slightly . Keep the oven on. Strain the beans from the pressure cooker keeping enough of the liquid so that a thick stew like consistency is obtained. Mix in the salt and mustard then pour the beans into the baking tray over the onions. Place back in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, then serve.
