The Giant Peruvian Lima is also referred to as a butter, curry, Madagascar, lab, Pole Bean, or Cape Pea. It has a creamy texture and a savory flavor. Try tossing with olive oil and fresh herbs. It also purees well.
BASIC RECIPE: 1 qt. water, 2 cups beans. Bring water to full boil. Add beans slowly so boiling does not stop. Cover and reduce to simmer. Cook until nearly tender, about 2 hours, before adding salt or other ingredients.
