How To Make lima beans with pine nuts

  • Step 1
    Heat olive oil in a wide, heavy skillet over high heat until hot. Add lima beans and shake the skillet to distribute them over the bottom of the pan.
  • Step 2
    As the limas heat, mince pine nuts very fine. When the limas have cooked long enough to brown a little, add pine nuts and salt and stir.
  • Step 3
    Lower heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until limas are cooked through and the pine nuts smell toasty, about five or 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Limas will be firm; if you like them very soft, add water during the final cooking.
