LIMA BEANS WITH MUSHROOMS, BASIL AND GARLIC

SERVES 4

I had forgotten all about this recipe for a couple years. My mother found it originally, and we changed it to our tastes. It's very good and, using the frozen beans, quick and easy.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 ounces mushrooms, sliced thin

2 large garlic, minced

1 pound frozen lima beans, preferably baby

2 teaspoons freshly shredded basil

Salt and pepper to taste

3/4 cup water (more if needed)

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the mushrooms. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and sauté until softened. Add the garlic, then the lima beans, basil and additional salt and pepper. Add the water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until lima beans are tender, adding more water if needed, about 20 minutes. If necessary, remove the lid and cook until excess moisture is evaporated.
