It all started with a can of Lima beans. I love Lima beans. For lunch, I thought it would be a quick side Lima bean curry. Then my husband said, why not use up the frozen bag of Lima beans. Thus began our Stone Soup . Then I thought how about some Kale. The Kale has been waiting to be used in Orechiette with kale and breadcrumbs . Then I thought how about some green onions - playing on the green theme of Lima beans and Kale. The next day I looked up to see how the rest of the world likes their Lima beans with Kale. I love it when the introduction to a recipe talks something about the recipe like this caramelization of slow baked Lima beans with kale . You can add tomatoes and olives to make a stew like lima bean stew olives tomatoes kale .
