| Recipe Title: Lima Bean Sandwich Contributed by: Dea
Note from the Diva
Frozen limas work really well here and there are days I've made just this for lunch - slice a baguette or whatever bread you like and toast; then put this on top - it tastes great and limas are good for you :)

Preparation
1. Combine lima beans, garlic, 1â„2 cup water and a generous pinch of salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until beans are very soft, about 15 minutes.
2. Coarsely purée beans and garlic in a food processor. Transfer to a small bowl and gradually beat in olive oil. Remove zest from lemon with a zester or vegetable peeler, then finely julienne zest and set aside. Halve lemon and add lemon juice to purée to taste, then season with salt and pepper. Serve in a small bowl with toasted bread on the side, or top toast with lima mash, drizzle with a little olive oil, and garnish with lemon zest
