Ingredients
Main Ingredients
Preparation
1. Soak the Lima Beans
Place the 2 cups of lima beans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. This helps to soften the beans and reduces cooking time.
2. Drain and Rinse
After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them under cold water.
Cooking
3. Cook the Lima Beans
In a large pot, combine the soaked lima beans, 4 cups of fresh water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
4. Sauté Garlic
While the beans are cooking, peel and mince the 2 cloves of garlic. In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Combine and Season
Once the lima beans are tender, drain any excess water if necessary. Add the sautéed garlic to the beans, along with 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
6. Garnish
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the beans before serving for added flavor and color.
