Lyonnaise Beans

"An easy lima bean and onion side dish using dried beans, so start it the night before or first thing in the morning for that night's dinner. Prep time includes soaking the beans. This recipe was lovingly adopted, after being posted in the Topic of the Month forum by John DOH (chef #308515), during the January 2011 Beans and Lentils event. After testing this recipe, I think there are a few alterations I'd make. I would cut the beans down to 1 cup OR double the butter, which is what I had to do this time to balance the amount of beans and onions to the butter. In the future I think I'll slice the onions instead of chopping, as I'd like to see the contrast in the bowl. This dish tastes like buttered, seasoned vegetables - except it's full of protein!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
