• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 cups shelled fresh butter beans (lima)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 large oranges, segmented
• 1 large granny smith apple, peeled, cored and finely grated
• 1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil leaf
• 1 teaspoon roasted garlic puree

directions

1. Place lima beans in a wide, shallow saute pan large enough to accommodate the beans in a single layer. Add the orange juice, sugar and garlic puree to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until 90% of the liquid has evaporated and the lima beans have a sugar-orange glaze.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and place the beans in a mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients. Divide among six plates and serve.
