Recipe by Lizzie Rodriquez

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Butter beans, a smaller cousin of lima beans, add a decidedly creamy texture to this dish. If you can't find butter beans. use limas instead. We prefer vine-ripened tomatoes, sold in most supermarkets, as they tend to be juicier than the average beefsteak type. To save time, ask the fishseller to skin the halibut fillets for you.
