lima beans don't need a lot of seasoning.  these are the perfect complement to  sauteed greens and horseradish red skin potatoes or can stand alone as an entree.  simple, delicious and nutritious.

ingredients:

2 bags of dry lima beans; soaked

about 12 cups of water 

4 not chicken bullion cubes

3 dried bay leaves

salt and pepper to taste

how to:

soak beans overnight or follow quick soak instructions on back of bean bag

put beans, water, bullion and bay leaves in a large stock pot.

simmer several hours until tender.  add salt and pepper (i like lots of pepper) to taste.

remove bay leaves.
