OK... I love lima beans, but my wife & basically everyone I know hate them... consequently I never get them, unless I have a small can of the baby limas for myself... alone... anyone have a good lima bean recipe for people who don't like Lima Beans? for the life of me I can't understand why so few people like them??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> I did find This Recipe and I know I'd love it, but I won't make it if nobody else will eat it...

such a mis-understood little legume... don't know where they got the bad rep??? they are really high in fiber, and great for fixing your cholesterol!

BigJim said: It's a pain. Lima's just aren't popular and I love them. Don't know how to disguise them though. I love making a big pot of Lima's and ham and then keep some in the freezer. Can't find the large canned or frozen Lima's in the stores here. You have to get dried. I just love the basic succotash! Lima's and corn and cream... Yummmmm... when I was a kid we'd go to Lorraine Murphy's and get popovers, and I used to fill them with the succotash! To die for...

Love limas...all sizes and colors. My husband particularly likes the white limas which I make by sauteeing a little onion in butter adding cream (such as half an half) then putting in the limas and heating until hot. Careful not to let the cream curdle.
I make succotash and even my kids like it. Cook limas...add fresh corn (milk the cob) and add stewed tomatoes............yum!

To die for... gotta agree...succotash is one of the great side dishes of all time. Lima Beans like Brussels Sprouts are unique in flavor and appearance. They also go well cold in a salad with corn, red onions, scallions, cilantro and diced tomato with a chipotle dressing

Seems people either really love LB's or really hate them... doesn't seem to be any inbetween! BUT everyone I know that says they don't like them, have never even tried them since they were 8-10 years old! give the poor little mis-understood legume a try, you may find your tastes have changed!

There is nothing better than a nice pot of summer butter beans (baby limas) all you need is some butter, water, salt, pepper and the beans. Bring to a boil, then simmer for an hour. That is good eats!

Now can you answer a question for me? How much is a sprig? I have recipes that call for a sprig or thyme, a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of tarragon and I'm really at a loss as to just HOW much to put in! Hi Annie, I agree with other posters... a sprig is one branch, usually about 6" long or so... when I use one I usually whack it once or twice with a meat hammer, to break the surface of the leaves, for more flavor... putting them in a HOT frypan, with no oil or butter, just dry, for 30 seconds or so and turning often will also release the oils in the leaves... if using this method, you do not want the sprigs to brown, at all, really just heat them for a few seconds...

There ain't nothin' better than lima bean soup, with corn bread. If you ask nice, I'll have my wife let loose of the recipe.
