Lima beans absorb the flavors of the stew they are cooked in, and when simmered overnight, turn dishes creamy. This stew with cured bacon, seared pork steak, onion, garlic, chipotle spices, roma tomatoes, lemon and pine apple makes the best creamy stew.
When done, the meat and bacon are shredded fine with forks and mixed in with the stew.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
