Nothing wrong with some limas! My Grandma had an amazinggg lima bean recipe where she put very little water in the pot, with loads of butter, and let it cook out, until the limas were soft and the the butter had become a sort of thick sauce… it was amazing.

These recipe is awfully mouth-watering! And would keep me busy in the kitchen, again. I think this would be just perfect for my kids who are crazy for it!

the best way to eat this is to cut a still warm from the garden beefsteak tomato into it. Poor man’s oyster stew my great great grandmother used to say.

Molly, I’m making this today with dried fava beans, small diced potato, and fennel. We’ll see how it goes (just trying to use what’s in the fridge!). But I was wondering if this recipe somehow missed getting on your recipe site? I was searching for it and couldn’t find it. Just thought you’d want to know, in case you forgot to add it. (otherwise, I’m blind.)

These were delicious if not addicting. I made them as a side to a beautiful steak house style dinner. I let everyone else feast on the rest of the meal and I enjoyed the Lima Beans in Cream as my appetizer, meal and dessert! Thank You!!!

I LOVE lima beans and have been eating them a lot lately as they have really good organic (albeit frozen)ones at my local food co-op. I am trying these highly underrated legumes in cream the first chance I get, thanks for the excellent idea! Patricia

Yeah………these were insane. I have not made lima beans for years because I have a mildly picky husband, but when I saw your photo I said “You’re trying lima beans!” They were amazing. Thanks so much for the great recipe. Also, I would just like to throw in that I’ve also made your recent Bon Apetit recipes for leek confit and pomodori al forno. (Hope I got that right…)Unbelievably delicious. My 13 year old gastronome-in-training comes home from school and has French bread with capricho de cabra and leek confit for a snack. Lucky kid, yes? Thanks again.

Molly,I am a frequent reader of your blog, but have never posted before. Last month I was lucky enough to eat at Watershed in Decatur, GA where I ordered the hot vegetable plate. The most perfect item on a lovely plate of amazing veggies was a pile of lima beans (or as we call them in the south, butter beans) cooked in cream. I am so thrilled to have the recipe in hand while I can still get fresh butter beans at my local farmer's market. Thanks for sharing!
