• Place 4 (15-inch) long sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface. Divide the frozen lima beans among the foil sheets (about 3/4 cup per sheet). Place 1 teaspoon of olive oil 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper on each pile of beans and gently toss to combine. Place 1 piece of fish over each pile of beans. Pour 2 tablespoons of white wine over each of the fish and sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Seal up the foil packets.
• Place the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Gently transfer the beans and fish to a serving plate and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add lima beans, and enough water just to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until beans are tender.

Steps:

• Cook 3 strips bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 10 minutes; drain on paper towels and crumble. Cook 1 chopped small shallot in the drippings, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, two 10-ounce boxes thawed frozen lima beans and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon each grated lemon zest and lemon juice. Top with the bacon and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Place frozen lima beans in a saucepan. Cover with the water.
• Add garlic, thyme and bay leaf and stir. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 - 20 minutes or until tender.
• Into a sieve that is place over a bowl, pour off broth. Pour approximately 1/2 - 1 cup of broth back into saucepan with lima beans. Shake any garlic or thyme that sticks to sieve back into the lima bean mixture. Discard bay leaf. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Evenly pour olive oil over all and stir. Check for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper, olive oil, if necessary. Serve hot.

• Drain beans. Add to crockpot along with remaining ingredients except fresh parsley. Cook on low 10 hours. Remove ham bone and bay leaf. Pull off any ham on the bone, chop it up and add back to soup. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving.

Steps:

• I know the bag says to soak the beans overnight, but you really don't have to.
• Wash the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover and let it sit for 1 hour.
• After the beans have sat, drain the water and sit the beans to the side.
• Add the oil to the pot and sauté the ham hocks and onions together, until onion is clear and tender, add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes more. Add the beans and cover with water.
• Add pepper and salt--only about 1 teaspoon of salt at first.
• Bring to a boil; stir, reduce heat and cover and simmer for about 2 hours.
• Keep checking the water level and stirring every once in a while. Add more water if needed, but not too much.
• Just enough to keep about 1 inch of water above the beans as they cook.
• Cook until beans are tender, adding more salt if needed. The water will turn into a wonderful gravy. Serve over rice.
