\"Ensalada<\/a>I grew up hating lima beans. My mom used to make them sometimes for dinner, and I would dread the thought of dinner. The smell of the beans cooking was unappealing to me as a kid. Fast forward to now, and I can tell you I\u2019m a lima bean convert.<\/p>\n

I have a couple of recipes in my cookbook,\u00a0Peruvegan<\/a><\/em>, which utilize lima beans.\u00a0 Interestingly, the lima beans in Peru are two to three times the size of those you can find in the United States. When cooked and pureed, lima beans are deliciously buttery and creamy.<\/p>\n

The recipe I\u2019m including in this post (Ensalada de Pallares) uses the frozen variety of baby lima beans. Frozen baby lima beans have a different flavor\u2026reminiscent of edamame. You can find frozen baby lima beans in many groceries stores, and they are green in color instead of tan, like the dried lima bean. Ensalada de Pallaraes is a salad made of lima beans, tomatoes and onions, topped with cilantro and a creamy dressing. Ensalada de Pallares can be served cold or at room temperature. It\u2019s an extremely pretty dish, comes together very fast, and is a nice first course for company.<\/p>\n
