Lima Beans w Mint & Veggies
 
Cook/wait time
Total time
 
I have to be honest, I have never been a great lover of legumes, even though my mother served heaps of them. But I must say, Lima beans, or Butter beans, are really lovely. I use them in different ways for different dishes. This is one of them :-) By the way, I soak the beans overnight, rinse them, and then steam them till they're done. I find this an easy way as you can just walk away and you don't need to worry about them getting burnt ;-) But, you can also buy them cooked of course, which makes this a really quick and hassle free dish.
