-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 pounds fresh lima beans -- shelled, or 2 packages frozen lima
beans, thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tomato -- peeled and seeded, then diced
1/2 yellow onion -- chopped
3 cloves garlic -- minced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable stock -- or broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley -- (Italian)
Bring a large saucepan 3/4 full of water to a boil. Add the lima beans and cook
until just tender-crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a
bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the
tomato, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and salt and saute until the vegetables
soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to
low, add the cooked lima beans and simmer, uncovered, until heated through, 2
to 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with
the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

Dietitian's tip: Also known as butter beans, fresh limas are creamy with a mild
flavor. Keep an eye out for them at your farmers market. Fresh fava (broad)
beans are a good substitute in this flavorful side dish.
