Somacandra: if you're willing to mix regions.

Lima beans?.....oooph, take em...

That guy's got an obscene amount of yellow chicklets in that grill...

I'm a picky eater but I LOOOVE lima beans. Hominy too.

Father stabs son over lima butterbeans. Okay, maybe he had a point

FTFY, subby

Thats what you get for being 26 and moving in with ur crazy father. And being Black.

I'd kill for some lima beans right now.

He then ate his son's spleen with them and a passable merlot.
Thrprprprprprp.

My father hates, hates, hates lima beans. Never had them growing up.

I kind of like them. Go figure. *shrug*

FU, subby.

Ignore the source of the following - it's the best lima bean recipe ever, I swear. And it has bacon. Mmmmmm.

Ingredients

2 cups dried lima beans (about 1 pound)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 bacon slices, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped carrot
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Preparation

Sort and wash beans; place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans; cover and let stand 8 hours or overnight. Drain the beans. Return beans to pan; stir in salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 300°.
Cook bacon slices in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon; set bacon aside. Add onion and carrot to drippings in pan; sauté 5 minutes or until golden. Add onion mixture, bacon, 2 cups water, and butter to bean mixture in Dutch oven; stir well. Cover and bake at 300° for 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender, stirring every hour.

Lima beans...

ARE DELICIOUS.

"I'd kill for some lima beans right about now!"

LIMA BEANS!

Was this during a canned food drive?

/poor folk must love some lima beans

Came for the Lector reference, left satisfied.

There's no such thing as a bad butterbean, only bad cooks. The recipes above look good, might give 'em a try. I usually put them in carrot, coriander and butterbean soup.

This is quite a nice recipe, Link (new window), though I tweak it with a bit of ground nutmeg and pink peppercorns.

Lima beans need no sauteeing, no onions, no garnishing at all. They're wonderful just the way they are, or maybe with a smidge of butter and pepper.

omnomnom.

Lima beans? Meh.

Black eyed beans. Now THERE'S some eatin'!

This! This! A thousand times THIS! Lightly steamed so they're not all mooshy, a little butter, salt and pepper and it's lima-y bliss.

-1 subby for not using "stabby."

My mom would cook them with bacon.
Green beans too.
/Leave my mother out of this.

My only exposure to homicide in a lima beans context was the 3 family dogs we killed slipping them under the table when we were kids.

Probably should have just taken a stand. Mom was convinced we loved them because they always disappeared.
