Categories     Beans

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 ounce) package baby lima beans
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
2 tablespoons butter

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!

This puree is a great way to use up leftover lima beans. I always have a few extra beans after making soup or stew, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I love the vibrant green color of this puree. It's so cheerful and inviting. And the flavor is just as good as it looks. I especially love the hint of garlic.
