Ingredients
4 pounds baby lima beans, fresh in the shell, or two 10-ounce packages, frozen
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
Directions
- Shell the beans (if fresh) and wash thoroughly. Put 4 cups water and the salt in a medium saucepan and add the beans. Cook the beans until tender, about 30 minutes (if using frozen, cook about 10 minutes).
- Drain the liquid and stir in the butter. Sprinkle lightly with the pepper before serving.
