I LOVE lima beans! My favorite way to eat them is just with butter and salt. I buy the frozen baby limas. I think the reason they get such a bad rep is that everyone overcooks them and they become a mealy mush.

I posted a recipe here a while back, about putting them in a foil packet with fish. That's a really good meal, but really does nothing to disguise the limas.

I like the tarragon idea..I'll have to try that.
