Lovely Limas


Lovely Limas
1 package frozen lima beans
2 tbsp chopped pimento
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup dairy sour cream

In saucepan, cook lima beans according to package directions and drain well. Combine with remaining ingredients and mix lightly but well.
Serves 4

I think even lima bean haters might like this recipe. I found that frozen lima beans were very expensive so I used canned lima beans, rinsing the beans and cooking them in fresh water. Because I used canned beans, the cooking time was much shorter.

I invited a few of my favourite lady friends for lunch today to taste test some more recipes from No-More-Than-4 Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook for Kitchen Klutzes by Joy Gallagher Douglas.
