Advanced Preparation

Instructions:

Soak beans in 2 litres cold water overnight. Drain and rinse the beans. Transfer the beans into a heavy pot or saucepan. Add fresh water to the pot until the beans are covered (at least 1 inch of water above the beans). Bring the beans to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low once the beans have boiled. Allow the lima beans to simmer for 40 to 60 minutes or until tender. During the simmering process, stir the beans regularly to avoid sticking. Strain and store in the fridge in a container lined with paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
