Baked Honey & Mustard Lima Beans

A deliciously unusual way to get your kids to eat their lima beans. You may also use butter beans in their place if you cannot get lima beans. Both work very well and are as equally tasty.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14-oz tin of lima beans, drained well and rinsed
  • 1 TBS liquid honey
  • 1 TBS Dijon mustard
  • 1 TBS grainy mustard
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375*F. You will need a small glass casserole dish large enough to hold 2 ½ cups. You can butter it if you like, but it is not really necessary.
  2. Put the drained beans into a bowl along with the honey, both mustards and olive oil. Season with some salt and pepper to taste. Toss all gently together.
  3. Pour the bean mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Strip the leaves from the thyme and sprinkle evenly over top.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes, uncovered, or until turning golden.
  5. Serve hot.
