Lima beans do not have the best reputation, but this is a delicious spread. It's quick & fairly easy to make... and since it uses frozen lima beans, it's easy to keep the ingredients on hand. It's best warm or at room temperature. Read more .. it tends to become too firm when refrigerated.

How to make it

- Season with salt and pepper.
- The beans can be served in a bowl as a cracker spread (I like it with flat bread) or spread on toasted bread as a crostini.
