Lima beans are among the few foods I dislike, so maybe that's why I was so impressed that this recipe made them not only edible, but also tasty. We bought dried lima beans for my stepson, who eats canned limas almost every day, but it became apparent that he wasn't interested in the soak-overnight-and-cook-for-two-hours variety. Not wanting to waste them, I tried this recipe hoping to disguise the beans. Between the seasoning and long cooking time--I had to cook them a lot longer than called for, but that might be the fault of our decrepit oven--all that usual lima bean "dirt" taste was cooked right out.

I LOVE this recipe and can't seem to get enough of it. My husband and I had beans like this in Greece and I've been looking for a recipe for them ever since. This one is fabulous! I don't use nearly as much olive oil though--just a splash over the top, it really doesn't need it. Also, I usually just use canned beans because it's easier. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Followed recipe as advertised but added some oregano. Instead of baking in the oven I put the lima beans into a crock pot on low heat for about 4hrs.

This is a really great recipe. It is such a winner that it overshadows the main dish! The beans that were on the top were a bit crunchy even after I added a little more water...

Every once in awhile I find a perfectly seasoned and exceptional recipe that uses every day ingredients and this is one such rarity. I added a little oregano and crushed red pepper to an already perfect recipe with fabulous results. Have made this recipe a dozen times for company with rave reviews and frequent requests for the "secret recipe". A real treasure!

One word...YUMMMMM! I've had greek lima beans with dill before and loved them, but this is a really nice variation! I, too, cut the olive oil down and replaced half with chicken stock. I'm afraid to admit I didn't use fresh lima beans (didn't have on hand) and wondered how they would turn out using frozen, which I happened to have. I thawed out about 90% and started the recipe from there. I don't know if they turned out as good as if I had used dried lima beans, but I loved them and so did my husband! This is a definite do again! Thanks for the recipe!

WOW... This was such a great and tasty recipe... much better than expected... I love dill and that's why I made it plus I'm a vegetarian, so this was perfect for me. The flavor was REALLY good. Even my husband who doesn't like beans that much loved this recipe!!! The only changes I made were the following: * I cooked the beans for about 35 minutes instead of 20. * I used 1/4 cup of olive oil instead of 1 cup * I used 1 28-Ounce can of Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Crushed Tomato, and 4 garlic cloves instead of 2 (because I love garlic) THIS was sooooooooo YUMMY!!!!! I will be making this very often, even for parties!!! Thanks for posting!!

Make it all the time. We love it. I use oregano along with the dill. And feta sprinkled on top is delicious. We like it with crusty bread to wipe up the last bits. Nice with grilled Greek or Italian sausages for a hefty winter-time comfort meal.

When I went to the store, I bought an extra can of green lima beans because I thought the 16 oz. bag of dried lima beans didn't look like it would be enough to fill a 9x13 pan, but it was. I added a chicken boullion cube to the water when I was simmering the beans to give them a little more flavor, and I only added about 1/3 cup olive oil to reduce the fat. I used about 1 Tbsp fresh parsely instead of the dill. I baked them uncovered for 1 hr 30 min at 375, and did not need to add any extra liquid. I sprinkled feta cheese on top when I took them out of the oven. Everyone thought these were a good alternative to baked beans at the picnic I took them to. I like the recipe because it's really easy and does not involve much prep work.

Definitely a keeper. I followed the basic recipe but added oregano instead of dill/parsley and four cloves of garlic. Everybody enjoyed it, including my meat-centric fiance.

So tasty. I was trying to cut fat/calories, so I used chicken broth instead of olive oil. I know if it was exact I would give it 5 stars, so that's what I rate it. The chicken broth version was still great to me. It was such a lovely flavor combination.
