This is an easy but remarkably delicious recipe! You'd be surprised how amazing lima beans can taste! This is a real keeper! Do cut down on the amount of oil, you don't really need that much and use some vegetable or chicken broth instead.

YUM! YUM! YUM! I added sauteed onions to the baking dish. Upon serving we topped the limas with feta cheese.

My family doesn't eat beans generally so I made a creamy 'tomato' soup. I replaced the oil with chicken stock and added some tomato sauce for extra liquid, mixed it all together and baked at 350 in my convection oven. Once it was baked and cooled a bit I added extra water, seasonings and spaghetti sauce then pureed it in my high speed blender.

Just made this and it is so tasty!! I read some reviews that say it came out oily or the beans were still hard..I think it should be added that that beans need to be stirred a couple of times as the oil is more evenly absorbed and the drier beans on top get stirred into the oil better. Excellent dish and great if feta and greek olives sprinkled on top.

Flavor is great, but have trouble getting beans the right consistency. Lots of floating skins after an all night soak; tend fall apart and get mushy after cooking for full length of time-- end up absorbing the liquid and not coming out as individual beans in a sauce, as I remember having them in Greece.

I wanted to like this. Really I did. I thought with all the positive reviews from people that don't like limas that I would. But I did not care for this recipe. The lima beans were crunchy - even with following all the directions. It did make my house smell really good though!

No one in our house likes lima beans, but this pretty much changed that for all 3 of us. This went well with "feta and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken" on this site. I whipped up some couscous to add some starch to the meal and everyone loved it. The lima beans was certainly the highlight of the meal

Delicious! These beans are just so creamy and satisfying. I used fresh tomatoes, canned beans, and fresh thyme instead of dill. I also added some chopped kale at the end, which melds very nicely with the sweet rich beans. I skimmed some of the olive oil off the top, since I used extra-virgin, which made it just too olive-y for my taste.
