Healthy Recipes Low-Calorie Recipes Low-Calorie Side Dish Recipes Low-Calorie Bean Recipes Stewed Lima Beans Be the first to rate & review! This lima bean recipe is the creation of Mable Clarke, a South Carolina cook and activist. This side dish is on the menu for Clarke's monthly fish fry that she started to save the Soapstone Baptist Church. No need for ham hocks with this recipe--her onion-rich roast turkey stock gives these humble beans a rich, savory flavor, but store-bought will also do the trick. A long, slow simmer coaxes the creaminess out of the limas.
