Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups cooked lima beans -- (2 15-oz cans or use frozen and just cook them according to the instructions.)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup lemon juice -- (and a few strands of zest) about 2 lemons
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh mint
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt -- (optional) (1 to 2)
1/3 cup red onion -- or sweet onion, chopped roughly
salt & pepper to taste

This is the best kind of recipe — throw everything in the food processor, (except the olive oil, yogurt, salt and pepper) and process until combined well and it looks like a rough paste. Stream in the olive oil until it comes together.

Taste — add salt and pepper. If you want it a little creamier, add the yogurt. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and some lemon zest. Serve with toasted pita, crackers or use in a wrap.

Makes 3 1/2 cups (about 7 one-half cup servings)

ChupaNote: a little bland. Add more pepper [lots more red pepper].
