We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Instead of complaining that God had hidden himself, you will give Him thanks for having revealed so much of Himself.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Dried large lima beans
1/2 lb Of dried green split peas
3 Smoked ham hocks, 2-3
pounds for the
authentic
version -or-
1 lb Polish sausage, pork or
other cut into chunks
or-
1/2 t Salt or veggie boullion for
the veggie version
3 Yellow onions, chopped -or-
4 up to
6 Cloves garlic, crushed or
minced
1 T Ground cumin
1 t Ground black pepper
1/8 up to
1/4 t Ground cayenne pepper
Enough water to cover

INSTRUCTIONS

Simmer beans in 1-2 quarts of water for 30 minutes, either in the
crockpot on "high" heat or in another pot over the stove.  The beans
will have swelled and softened slightly" drain and rinse and put them
into the crockpot.  This is not traditional, but I like to add 1/2
pound of dried green  split peas to the pot.  If you leave these out,
you may want to cut  down on spices a bit or start with more lima
beans.  Add ham hocks (for the authentic version) or polish sausage
(pork or  other), or 1/2 teaspoon salt or veggie boullion (for the
veggie  version).  Add onions or garlic. Add cumin, black and cayenne
pepper.  Add enough  water to cover.  Cook 4-8 hours on "auto-shift" or
"low" heat.  At some point, remove  the ham hocks and separate the
bones and fat from the bits of meat,  cutting up the meat ot return to
the crockpot. When done, this dish  should resemble a stew with a thick
broth; the beans should be soft  but not quite falling apart. If you
cook it too long (my last batch  went 21 hours by misadventure), it
will still be tasty but will  resemble split pea soup.  Serves 8-10.
Great with cornbread or biscuits.  Freezes well.
