Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans

2 (16 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes with juice

1 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

sea salt to taste

1 cup water, or as needed (Optional)

Directions

Place lima beans into a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for 8 hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place the saucepan with beans and water over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Drain beans; pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, dill, and salt; stir to combine.

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally and adding water if the mixture appears dry, until beans are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Tips

You can substitute 2 teaspoons parsley for the dill if preferred.
