GIGANTES (GREEK LIMA BEANS)
This is a family recipe. In Greek, it's called 'Gigantes' which translates as 'Giants.' Try to find the largest dried lima beans possible. My aunt adds small canned sausages, but I prefer this meatless. Serve with feta cheese and a crusty bread. You can also substitute 2 teaspoons parsley for the dill if you prefer.

GREEK MR. MANETTA'S BUTTER BEANS AND SAUSAGES ( DRY LIMA BEANS)
Tasty Lima Beans in tomato sauce. Leave out the sausage and make it vegetarian. Mr. Manetta explained his theory of why Greek food is so successfully seasoned. The best Greek cooks, he said, treat each major part of a dish separately, then combine it with other parts; they do not season the combined ingredients all at once. Butter beans is the other name for lima beans. There are two common varieties of lima bean - the baby lima bean and the Fordhook - but don't confuse them as the same bean in different stages of development. The Fordhook is larger, lighter in color, and has a stronger taste than the baby lima, but it is not a grown-up baby - it is a separate variety. In the south of the United States, Fordhook lima beans are commonly called butter beans. These larger beans are also known as butter beans in Europe, or Madagascar beans, since most lima beans sold in Europe are grown in Madagascar (or Mauritius). They can also be called calico beans, but that may be only when they're speckled with a bit of purple.

Steps:
- In an oiled large, heavy frying pan, bake sausages in a 350°F oven, turning once, until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove and cut into 2-inch diagonal slices. Add enough oil to frying pan to make 3 tablespoons. Add onions and sauté until limp. Stir in remaining ingredients except ¼ cup of the parsley. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
- COOKED LIMAS. Put 1 ½ cups large dry lima beans, rinsed, into a large kettle. Add enough cold water to cover deeply. Heat to boiling; boil for 2 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain, rinse, and cover with fresh salted water. Heat to boiling, then gently boil, uncovered, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes; drain.
- SUGGESTED ACCOMPANIMENTS: Cooked chard dressed with oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper served at room temperature. Large bread sticks or crusty bread. Full fruity red table wine, as a hearty California Zinfandel. Chilled fresh orange segments.

BABY LIMA BEANS AND SAUSAGE
Okay, so, when my husband and I got married everyone thought it'd be hilarious to get us a pig (think Varsity Blues), only instead of getting us a cute little potbelly pig, these guys went out to the country and bought a butcherin' hog. First few months, this pig was soooooo cute, it ate out of my hand, played with the dogs, we even took it to the dog park a time or two. However, six months into it, the pig was still growing... and growing... and growing. Bacon (that's what we named her) finally started tearing up our backyard, destroyed our air conditioning unit trying to get to the roots under it, pushed the dogs around so they didn't get any food (these are Great Danes, big dogs, by the way), tipped over the water basin daily and generally outgrew her surroundings. One day, I get home and... well, long story short, my husband had made a trip to Marvin's Meats and brought home about 300 lbs. worth of pork and there was no piggie to be found in my backyard. I wouldn't touch that meat for six months until our freezer got so bare there wasn't anything but the piggie meat. So, I tried not to think of my little pickle-eater while I cooked up ribs (so good!), butt roast (the best I've ever had) and pork chops (Marvin cut 'em real thick). And this recipe is what came of the last of the sausage and some dried beans in the cabinet.

- Cook beans the rest of the way.
- Cook sausage in a large skillet and add Frank's hot sauce and ground sage.
