1
Soaking the Lima Beans
Rinse the lima beans under cold water. Place them in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
2
Cooking the Lima Beans
After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. In a large pot, combine the soaked lima beans with 10 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until the beans are tender.

3
Adding Flavor
In a small skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet, then mix well.
4
Combining Ingredients
Once the lima beans are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour the sautéed garlic and oil mixture over the beans. Add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and stir gently to combine. Cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes.
5
Final Touch
Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
