Hmm, dry white limas, bacon grease, lots of salt. When we lived in Greece we ate a lot of what they called "elephant beans" which were simply large white limas. They added tomato juice to the dish, onions, maybe some celery or something. It too was very good. Hubby doesn't care for either one so I haven't made them in years, but I sure miss them.<br />~ KathiOak Hill Homesteadhttp://www.oakhillhomestead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-61040146661617246572013-10-22T19:57:15.615-05:002013-10-22T19:57:15.615-05:00That is funny!

Mix the bacon and onions with the drained beans. Don't forget to taste for salt and pepper.<br /><br />You could also try making a kind of succotash - just-tender limas, cut corn, sauteed onion. Some people add diced fresh tomato or diced cooked (sauteed with the onion, slowly) carrot. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
