Seeing I'm a lima bean lover, I had to try these but wasn't sure what to expect. Not knowing the history of this dish, I bet it goes way back, as it has that added bonus of "comfort" that many-a-modern dish unfortunately has discarded. We loved these for it's, you guessed it, comfort and the sauce was just the right component as it hugged every single lima. These will be made again before this winter is over. Thank you, Dee, for sharing. Made it for FYC.
