INGREDIENTS

Main Ingredient
- 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans
- 🍅 2 (16 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes with juice
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- 🧂 sea salt to taste
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil

STEPS

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

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 9x13-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.
