Fresh Lima Bean And Romaine Lettuce Slaw With Orecchiette Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, chives, olives and olive oil. Set aside. Cook the lima beans in simmering water until tender. Drain and add to the tomato mixture.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain. Toss the warm pasta into the salad. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Toss in the lettuce and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring about 3 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan.
• Heat a medium stockpot over medium-low heat and add the oil. Saute the onions in the oil, gradually adding 1 cup of the boiling water and stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the lima beans and cook until beginning to soften, 10 minutes more. Add the sugar, some salt and red pepper flakes and the remaining boiling water. Partially cover the pan and cook until the lima beans are tender, about 40 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to gently mash one-third of the tender beans and combine to make creamy. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, lime juice, onion, jalapeno, salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and carrot. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat.
