Excellent recipe. I did not have fresh sage so used dried - still gave a lovely flavor. I cut the recipe back to 2 servings using 3 large cloves of garlic and a 1/2 tomato. Lima beans are so often overlooked and they are a delicious vegetable. Next time I will slip the outer skin off the lima beans it makes a difference to the flavor and is worth the effort Thanks jonesies for a keeperReply
