GREEK MR. MANETTA'S BUTTER BEANS AND SAUSAGES ( DRY LIMA BEANS)
Tasty Lima Beans in tomato sauce. Leave out the sausage and make it vegetarian. Mr. Manetta explained his theory of why Greek food is so successfully seasoned. The best Greek cooks, he said, treat each major part of a dish separately, then combine it with other parts; they do not season the combined ingredients all at once. Butter beans is the other name for lima beans. There are two common varieties of lima bean - the baby lima bean and the Fordhook - but don't confuse them as the same bean in different stages of development. The Fordhook is larger, lighter in color, and has a stronger taste than the baby lima, but it is not a grown-up baby - it is a separate variety. In the south of the United States, Fordhook lima beans are commonly called butter beans. These larger beans are also known as butter beans in Europe, or Madagascar beans, since most lima beans sold in Europe are grown in Madagascar (or Mauritius). They can also be called calico beans, but that may be only when they're speckled with a bit of purple.

Steps:
- In an oiled large, heavy frying pan, bake sausages in a 350°F oven, turning once, until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove and cut into 2-inch diagonal slices. Add enough oil to frying pan to make 3 tablespoons. Add onions and sauté until limp. Stir in remaining ingredients except ¼ cup of the parsley. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
- COOKED LIMAS. Put 1 ½ cups large dry lima beans, rinsed, into a large kettle. Add enough cold water to cover deeply. Heat to boiling; boil for 2 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain, rinse, and cover with fresh salted water. Heat to boiling, then gently boil, uncovered, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes; drain.
- SUGGESTED ACCOMPANIMENTS: Cooked chard dressed with oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper served at room temperature. Large bread sticks or crusty bread. Full fruity red table wine, as a hearty California Zinfandel. Chilled fresh orange segments.

LIMA BEANS AND SAUSAGE
My husbands favorite dish, I make this often for Sunday dinner and we serve it often as a side dish with roast and gravy. We eat it over white steamed rice. My mother in law made this often so it is a cajun comfort food to us. Low in calories but high in protien and good for you. I also cook dry navy beans this same way. ...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium sauce pan put beans and baking soda and cover with water.
- 2. Bring to a rapid boil then remove from the stove and rinse beans in cold water, removing all baking soda. This step eliminates having to soak the beans overnight.
- 3. Put beans, onions, garlic and salt & pepper in a medium sauce pan and cover with water.
- 4. Cut sausage into 2" pieces and add to pot. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until beans are cooked, adding water as needed to keep the beans from sticking.
- 5. Watch beans closely as the water will cook down quickly and you will need to replenish it often. Beans should be soupy when finished.
