Lima Beans
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Soak dried limas for six hours and cook on the stove uncovered for about one hour, or until tender. 1 cup of dried limas makes approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans. Succotash, corn mixed with lima beans, is a traditional dish in the southern United States. Try pureing lima beans as a substitute for milk in creamy soups.
