My Goodness..this recipe was very good. I have acid reflux diseases and have been trying to get more fiber in my body.....I didn't want to season my lima beans with salt...so I use your recipe.<br/><br/>It was delicious. I have never used Cinnamon in a savory way since America usually uses cinnamon for sweet things. The cinnamon added a kick to the beans. I didn't use the tomatos and pepper flakes because that would only aggravate my ulcers.... Thank you so much for this recipe.

This was wonderful! I will definitely make it again. We served it with crumbled feta. Thank you.

This was pretty good. I agree with a previous post... that next time I may use a bean that I actually like better. But a good way to get some lima beans in the diet!

great recipe!! i added frsh zuchini, broccoli, and squash for veggies and couscous as well. I am not a fan of cooked tomatoes so i used fresh tomatoes instead of the canned ones and simply added them about 3 minutes before taking the meal off the stove. but absolutely delish!! =D

Very enjoyable mixture of spices. I used frozen Soy beans instead of Lima. Precooked them for 4 minutes. Got everything else ready and they were on the table in 15 minutes. This recipe wll be made again
