Ingredients:

Serving

5 (10-oz) packages frozen baby lima beans
3 cups water
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup half-and-half plus additional for thinning
3/4 stick (6 tbsp) unsalted butter
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Simmer lima beans in water with 1teaspoon salt in a 5-quart pot, covered, until just tender, about 15 minutes.
Purée beans with cooking liquid in batches in a food processor until smooth, then force purée through a medium-mesh sieve or a food mill fitted with fine disk into a large bowl.
Heat half-and-half and butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat until butter is melted, then stir into bean purée along with cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. If purée is too thick, thin to desired consistency with additional half-and-half.
Cooks' note: Purée can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat, thinning with half-and-half as needed, before serving.
