LIMA BEANS IN CHILI SAUCE

Try this fabulous dish of lima beans with a tomato and chile sauce for warming up on winter evenings.

1 pound lime or fava beans, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
12 ounces tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 or 2 drained canned jalapeño chiles, seeded and chopped
Salt
Chopped cilantro, to garnish

Cook the beans in a saucepan of boiling water for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain and keep hot, to one side, in the covered saucepan.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is soft but not brown. Add the tomatoes and cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the jalapeños and cook for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt.

Pour the mixture over the reserved beans and check that they are hot. If not, return everything to the frying pan and cook over low heat for just long enough to heat through. Place in a warmed serving dish, garnish with cilantro and serve.

Serves 4.
