Chef's Notes
Do not rush the simmer! The secret to that velvety, cream-free texture is letting the natural starches of the lima beans break down slowly over low heat while mingling with the smoky collagen of the turkey wings.
Pro Tip
If you find your liquid reducing too quickly before the beans are tender, keep an extra cup of warm chicken stock or water nearby to top it off gently without shocking the pot's temperature.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to check for tiny stones in your dry beans will turn a sophisticated Friday night supper into an impromptu visit to the local dental clinic when someone bites down too hard.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the lima bean go to therapy? It had deep-seated legume issues from being confused with a butter bean its whole life.
The Culinary Science
Simmering beans in chicken stock rather than pure water introduces amino acids and fats that help soften the pectin in the bean skins much faster, resulting in a creamier interior and a richer sauce.
