Need an appetizer to take to a party? How about some lima bean dip with pita chips? It might sound gross, but I tried it out at our block party and many thought it was guacamole. The entire bowl of dip was gone. Here is the recipe: (I will also add this to the recipe page at the top)
Kosher salt
1 10 oz box frozen lima beans
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled (I just got the already cooked kind - easier)
1. Bring saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the lima beans and garlic and simmer until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool slightly (the beans should be warm but not hot).
2. Pulse the lima beans, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor (I used my magic bullet) until just combined. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and process until incorporated but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl and top with bacon. Serve warm or at room temperature with pita chips and/or veggie sticks.
