Ingredients:

  • 1 (10 oz) package baby lima beans
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter

Directions:

  1. In a small sauce pan heat the lima beans, chicken broth, rosemary, salt and pepper to boiling. Reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes until limas are heated through, approx 5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the lima beans reserving approximately 1/2 cup of liquid.
  2. Place hot lima beans back into the sauce pan. Add butter and chicken broth in 1 Tablespoon increments as needed. Either with a masher or with an emersion blender (I use the emersion blender) puree the lima bean/butter/broth mixture until silky smooth and they resemble green mashed potatoes . If they seem too dry, add some more of the reserved chicken broth until the consistency is to your liking.
  3. These are a healthy alternative in our house and everyone loves them. Even the veggie haters always leave raving about these lima's!
