I know I am late to the party on this post, but it got me thinking…there are some things you should never apologize for, and I personally feel garlic breath is one of those things. This is why it is important to fall in love with someone who loves garlic as much as you.

We love this recipe. First time we tried it we used fava beans, and in place of the parsley we used cilantro (I almost always try to follow a recipe perfectly the first time, but it seemed a shame not to use all the cilantro in the garden). YUM! I will be using this recipe every Spring from now on (with fava beans and cilantro, we love them so). Thank you!!

I fortunately stumbled upon your site after looking for dutch baby pancakes on google. I am not a fan of lima beans, but I just moved back to my childhood home of Oklahoma City. I will gladly lift a large chocolate malt from Braum's in your honor. Shall I also add a cherry limeade from Sonic?

Emmet, you're most welcome. I hope that's a happy memory.Tea, sometimes I think I should just come right out and dedicate Orangette to underdog vegetables! I seem to keep writing about them...Marc, I am <>so<> sorry to hear of your migraines! No cheese, chocolate, or lima beans? I wonder what the common thread might be. How interesting - and, I imagine, frustrating. Harumph!

I love lima beans--I just wished they loved me. For some reason, they cause migraines in some people, and I think I may be one of them (I get them from cheese, ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and I believe, lima beans).But they are so good that sometimes I need to take the chance and try them out. Thanks for the recipe! Maybe when I know I'm not doing anything for the next couple of days, I'll try it. ;-b-MH< HREF="http://www.hiddenboston.com" REL="nofollow">Boston's Hidden Restaurants<>

Wow, I didn’t know it was possible to make lima beans look so sexy! You’ve given the underrated lima a new life, Molly.

Damn.The person I was supposed to marry cooked lima beans like that. Before that, I didn't really consider them edible. Just reading that, I can taste them, and all the other little pots of vegetables he would keep going on the stove.Thank you.

Leah, you and Nicolette and your text messages and Holy Grails are too funny. Thank <>you<>!bcinfrance, what's this about lima beans with maple syrup? I love lima beans, but I'm not sure how to feel about that! How is it?Miz Hatbox, I'm so glad that you - and your husband - approve. Three cheers for lima beans and their leftovers!Dee, your lentils - with, mmm, Spanish sausage - sound delicious. Many thanks for posting the recipe.Robert Nanders, I'm so sorry to be a tease! But maybe you can find limas after all - have you tried the frozen section?Kaya, I'm so jealous of you, what with that enormous family garden - even if it did lead you to overdose on limas! I hope this recipe will usher in a new era for you and the lowly bean. And as for Braum's, I know what you mean. Many shakes, many scoops...
