Savory Mashed Limas Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium-size heavy saucepan; add frozen lima beans, sugar, salt and pepper; add water and stir, cover.
• Cook slowly for 5 minutes; stir with a fork to mix with seasonings; cover again. Cook 15 minutes longer, or until tender. Add a little more water, if necessary.
• Sprinkle parsley and lemon juice over; toss lightly to mix.

Steps:

• Cook lima beans according to package instructions. While beans are cooking, mince garlic and in a small saucepan cook in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until pale golden.
• Drain beans in a large sieve and transfer to a food processor. Add garlic mixture, milk, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and purée until smooth.

Steps:

• Boil lima beans and garlic in water until soft, about 12 to 18 minutes drain. Stir in butter blend with an electric blender, adding just enough cream to reach mashed potato consistency. Sprinkle with nutmeg to taste. From "5 Ingredients or Less!" Copyright Gooseberry Patch. Used with permission of the publisher, Gooseberry Patch. All Rights Reserved.
