Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups frozen lima beans
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion -- finely chopped
3 garlic cloves -- minced
1 jalapeño pepper -- seeded and chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
To garnish: -- zahtar, to taste
In small saucepan, cover and cook lima beans with 2 tbsp (25 mL) boiling
water until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to food processor to let
cool.
Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and
jalapeño pepper until onion is softened, about 6 minutes.
Add onion mixture to food processor along with lemon juice, salt and 1/4
cup (50 mL) water; purée until smooth. Pulse in parsley.
Transfer to shallow bowl. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3
days.) Sprinkle with Zahtar.
Makes 2 cups (serves 8 one-quarter cup servings)
Substitution: Replace cooked lima beans with 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) white
beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Reduce water to 2 tbsp (25 mL) and
salt to 1/4 tsp (1 mL).
AuthorNote: Mild, buttery lima beans, available frozen in supermarkets,
lend a lovely pale green colour and rich texture to this dip, which is
equally good made with chickpeas or white beans. Zahtar is a Middle
Eastern spice mixture that's available at Middle Eastern grocers, but is a
cinch to make yourself. Increase the jalapeño peppers to two, if you enjoy
the heat.
