Fall backs: we all have them. From peanut butter to soup, from tuna salad to omelettes, every one has at least one meal that they can make on a whim. My fall back? Frozen lima beans.
I can not tell you how many times these little green gems have saved me. More often than not, there is at least one day a week that I have forgotten to prepare lunch the night before. Yet, I remain unphased every time this happens because I take comfort in knowing that after a brief simmer on the stove and a toss with oil and vinegar, I have lunch for the day.
1c. frozen lima beans
~1oz. feta cheese
1/2t. olive oil
1/2-1t. red or white wine vinegar
dill, fresh or dried
oregano, dried or fresh
salt & pepper, to taste
-Fill a pot half way with water and put in the beans. Let this come to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let this sit for 4-8 minutes, until they are tender. Drain.
-Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, the herbs and salt to taste, and toss in the beans.
-Pack this away or enjoy immediately.
