Lemon-Garlic Lima Beans
When I was growing up on Cyprus, my mother would often make this side dish to have with roast lamb. Although I hated lima beans when I was a kid (who didn't?), I love them now. They always remind me of home. —Paris Paraskeva, San Francisco, California

Lima beans are more than just related to butter beans, they are the same thing! In the South, lima beans are often called butter beans and in the UK they almost exclusively refer to them as butter beans. ... Lima beans can be consumed in both their immature stage (fresh and green) as well as their mature (dried and beige)
Great lima bean recipe. Have to plan ahead but flavor is worth it.
Lima beans are green. Period. Whereas i am not familiar with butter beans, they are not the same bean as mentioned in earlier reviewm
Fasolia majnoun! I love this dish, and is full of memories of Beirut. ? @bayarearob? Lima beans ARE butter beans. Check your facts before you mansplain, friend. ??
Looks good but those are not lima beans. Those are butterbeans. Lima beans are green.
Oh yum! Almost identical as to what my Austrian mom used to make. I love lima beans, even when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing this delicious side dish, hopefully others will try and enjoy them too.
There being only two of us, I didn't want to make the full recipe for six, so I used a package of frozen lima beans in place of the dried beans. and cut the remainder of the ingredients in half. Absolutely delicious. A nice change to an old favorite.
Delicious dressing. I loved the lemon-herb combination.
