There is something to be said about those meals that can be started the moment you walk in the door, with out even taking off your coat. Sure you could easily just make a salad or perhaps a peanut butter sandwich, but when I am tired, I want more flavor than that. Those things are nice, but they seem more appealing to me as lazy lunches rather than dinners. I have mentioned before about keeping a stash of certain this and that in the freezer and nary a week goes by that frozen lima beans don't save the day in one way or another. Their cheery bright green colour make for a nice pick-me-up at the end of a long day as well.
Straight from the freezer and into the pan with some water to cover, a bit of garlic and oregano set on a simmer, you'll have plenty of time to change out of the days work attire and maybe even have some time to spare to smoosh some feta on half a pita.
1-1.5c. frozen lima beans
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4t. dried oregano
*enough water to cover
-In a small sauce pan, combine the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Let this cook for 20 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
-Serve and relax.
