This is very good--didn't taste anything like lima beans with the

spices & herbs, but I liked it quite a lot. I ate it with Tricuits

last night and made an open-faced sandwich with tomato & greens today.

 

I doubled everything as Chupa did/suggested. (Next time I would use

lemon juice closer to what the recipe says--it's good but I don't

always want that vibrant flavor.)

 

Thanks, Chupa!
