Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the lima beans and garlic and simmer until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool slightly (the beans should be warm but not hot).
- Pulse the lima beans, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor until just combined. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and process until incorporated but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl and top with the bacon. Serve warm or at room temperature with pita chips and/or vegetable sticks.
- Buy lima beans frozen: They're bright green and buttery tasting. The olive-colored, mushy lima beans you remember from childhood were probably canned.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bring about 3 quarts water to a boil and add soaked, skinned beans. Reduce to a simmer and cook until beans are very soft, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, drizzle garlic with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast until very tender, about 30 minutes.
- When beans are soft, reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain well. Using a food processor, blend beans just until coarsely mashed. Allow roasted garlic to cool until it can be handled, then squeeze garlic out of its skin into bean purée. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and cumin. Process just until blended, adding a bit of reserved cooking water if needed to make a rough, chunky purée.
- Transfer to a bowl. Add mint and feta, and stir to mix. Season with salt, as needed. Place in a serving dish, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with the za'atar. Serve with pita bread.

LIMA BEAN SALAD
Lima beans are almost always on the menu when you visit a traditional Gullah or Low Country soul food restaurant. They've usually been slow-cooked for hours with a smoked turkey leg or ham hock. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of that way of cooking them, so this salad is my favorite way to serve lima beans. I love the tangy vinaigrette and the colorful crunchy vegetables added to the beans. This is another one of those recipes that gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.

Steps:
- For the salad: Combine the lima beans, broth and bacon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lima beans are tender and cooked through, adding the corn during the last 2 minutes of cooking, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and discard the bacon and drain the beans and corn. Set aside to come to room temperature.
- Make the vinaigrette: Sprinkle the garlic with about 1/4 teaspoon salt. Use the flat side of a chef's knife to press down on the garlic and drag it across the cutting board. Keep mincing, pressing and dragging the garlic until it forms a paste. Place the garlic paste in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, honey and celery seeds. Gradually whisk in the oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the lima beans and corn, tomatoes, peppers and onions and toss until combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve at room temperature.

LIMA BEAN SPREAD / DIP
This is from the Culinary Institute of America book, "Breakfast and Brunch". I have not made this yet, but the picture in the book looked delicious! A healthy alternative to some of the dips out there, with a beautiful vibrant green color. I would serve this with crostini or some crusty bread. The book also states that you could use this also as a pasta sauce, thinned down with a bit of pasta water. Prep time does not include 30 min. chill time.

GARLICKY LIMA BEAN SPREAD
Use frozen lima beans (10 oz package) if necessary. You can buy roasted garlic in a tube, which makes it easy to squeeze out the amount you want (I prefer roasting my own and then making the paste - more cost efficient.) You can find the tube in the spice section of the supermarket. Cooking Light Magazine, June 2008 edition.
