LEMON-GARLIC LIMA BEANS
When I was growing up on Cyprus, my mother would often make this side dish to have with roast lamb. Although I hated lima beans when I was a kid (who didn't?), I love them now. They always remind me of home. -Paris Paraskeva, San Francisco, California

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan heat the lima beans, chicken broth, rosemary, salt and pepper to boiling. Reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes until limas are heated through, approx 5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the lima beans reserving approximately 1/2 cup of liquid.
- Place hot lima beans back into the sauce pan. Add butter and chicken broth in 1 Tablespoon increments as needed. Either with a masher or with an emersion blender (I use the emersion blender) puree the lima bean/butter/broth mixture until silky smooth and they resemble "green mashed potatoes". If they seem too dry, add some more of the reserved chicken broth until the consistency is to your liking.
- These are a healthy alternative in our house and everyone loves them. Even the veggie haters always leave raving about these lima's!

Tips:
- Soaking the Beans: Soaking the lima beans overnight or for at least 8 hours helps to reduce their cooking time and makes them more digestible.
- Choosing Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh lima beans, potatoes, and garlic. Look for beans that are plump and green, and potatoes that are firm and smooth.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more garlic, onion, or herbs if you like. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Cooking Time: The cooking time may vary depending on the type of lima beans you are using. Check the beans regularly to make sure they are tender but not overcooked.
