Thanks, Millie! I was standing there looking at all the amazing things in my local basket this week; summer squash and blossoms, sweet corn and purple carrots, and heirloom tomatoes, onions and all kinds of peppers from my container garden. And then I saw those stunning Zuni paintings- it all just came together in the power of a moment.

Looks fantastic! This is the second time in two days I’ve come a cross a recipe for lima beans. I might just have to try some soon :)

Bright, savory, and meltingly unctuous. The scales will fall from your eyes and you will breathe anew :-)

Definitely use fresh if you can get them, otherwise use frozen baby limas (not the large Fordhooks). Dry beans are fine, too- Christmas Lima, Yellow Indian Woman, Anasazi or Vaquero are good choices.

For the kids, try simmering fresh or frozen baby Limas in milk and butter with lots of S&P. Limas are properly cooked when they hold their shape but mash under light pressure.

MMmm… fantastic. Was it as savory as it looks? Where your lima beans, canned, frozen or dried? What kind of bean would make a good substitute? Last week Quinn declared that he hates lima beans when I put them in a casserole.
