I just came across your blog and I love it! I have been marking down many recipes to try soon. And I was so happy to see THIS recipe, because I have made it before– with those same beans! I am in FL but I love Rancho Gordo and look forward to placing orders with them. AND I love Tessa Kiros. This recipe is such a good one, and those giant christmas limas are so tender and meaty!

You know Kelsey, I saw that over on your site and LOVE the idea. What fun! I’m going to be travelling to Boston so I won’t have a lot of cooking down-time otherwise, I’d jump on board for a “cook-a-long.” Hope you’re not too, too snowed in!

This looks really delicious! Beans are always a favorite of mine. I have some french emergo beans that would be great in your recipe.

This recipe looks so good. I’m going on a bit of a health kick at the moment and this recipe looks both tasty and healthy. I especially love the color that the beans give to the dish…with all those lovely swirls on the beans!

So fun! Did you know I am starting a “cooking with tessa” series next week? I know her a bit and her editor too, if you ever want to “cook-a-long” with me let me know. Next week I’m starting with a recipe from Apples for Jam. I probably leaf through that, Falling Cloudberries and Twelve at least once a week these days.

Rancho Gordo beans are excellent – the owner’s passion comes through in the product. Hm, lots of bean recipes on the blogs today (is spring in the air?). I love it when it’s light and herby like this!

Ha, Ha–that’s hilarious, Bria. Wow, I bet that killed sleepovers for you for awhile, huh?!Yes, lima beans definitely get a bad rap. But these are really nice…kind of grown-up lima beans.

Bless you for posting a link to Rancho Gordo – I keep seeing their beans in people’s photographs and meaning to order some. My first memory of lima beans was not pleasant, and it’s high time I realigned it. I think I was 4, and it was my first sleepover at someone else’s house. My friend’s mom explained that their family ate two dinners – one before dad got home, and one after. We sat down to first dinner…and it was a bowl of lima bean soup. I can vividly remember thinking “lady, who serves lima beans to 4-year-olds?!”

Of course, now I think they look fantastic and can’t wait to order some!
