• Lima beans are an essential ingredient in succotash, a Native American dish that has several interesting regional variations. Green baby limas have a delicate flavor that I find more appealing than that of dry limas, which are bland and mealy. Green lima beans are particularly good in highly seasoned tomato-based soups or stews, in sweet-and-sour dishes, and served over rice. Two other varieties are butter beans and fordhooks.
