  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.
