Lima Bean Puree or Green Mashed Potatoes




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




10 oz baby Lima beans (2 C dried)
2 cup chicken broth (to cover)
1 tbsp rosemary (dried) (optional)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter
celery stalk, strings removed and chopped
sprigs parsley
1/2 bay leaf
onion stuck with 1 clove







Recipe



Cook 3 hours, remove bay leaf. heat and drain the Lima beans reserving approximately 1/2 cup of liquid. in our house and everyone loves them. Even the veggie haters always leave raving about these Lima's!
Place hot Lima beans back into the sauce pan. Add butter and chicken broth in 1 Tablespoon increments as needed. Either with a masher or with an emersion blender (I use the emersion blender) puree the Lima bean/butter/broth mixture until silky smooth and they resemble "green mashed potatoes". If they seem too dry, add some more of the reserved chicken broth until the consistency is to your liking.
These are a healthy alternative
