Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dried lima beans
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, diced (2 cups)
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on a Sunday and then I had it for lunch all week. It's also a great freezer meal. I just freeze it in individual containers and then I can take it out and reheat it when I'm ready to eat.
