Ingredients:
8 slices bacon
olive oil, as needed
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound frozen butter beans
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Fry the bacon. Transfer to a plate. Add enough oil to the drippings to measure 1/4 cup. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 25 minutes. Cook the butter beans according to the package directions. Drain, transfer to a serving bowl, and cover to keep warm. Add the honey and vinegar to the onion mixture. Cook for 1 minute, then pour over the butter beans. Add the pepper and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and goat cheese, if using. Tip: Butter beans are sweeter and more tender than lima beans, which can work as a substitute.
