Tomato-Basil Lima Beans from the Food Network Kitchen

We are getting Lima beans in our share (that is if Mother Nature does not change our minds!).  Some people love them and some people hate them.  I found this recipe and thought it might be a great way to cook them.

Directions:

Toast 3 sliced garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a large skillet with olive oil. Add salt, then stir in a 10-ounce box of thawed frozen lima beans; cook about 7 minutes. (Laura's Note:  cook until Lima Beans are tender as we are using fresh ones)

Remove from the heat; add halved cherry tomatoes, sliced basil and a splash of white wine vinegar. 

Drizzle with olive oil and top with shaved parmesan cheese.
