You might think the humble lima bean little more than a vegetable to threaten small children with, but in this herbed and spiced spread, it’s a brilliant treat served either as a dip for veggies and chips or a spread for a vegetarian sandwich.
Ingredients
- 10 oz. frozen lima beans
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. cumin
- ½ tsp. salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add lima beans, garlic, and crushed red pepper and cook until the beans are tender (10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly in the liquid (10 minutes).
- Drain the beans and garlic. Add to a food processor with oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.
- Stir in mint, cilantro, and dill.
