Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen baby lima beans, unthawed

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)

Preparation

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add lima beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water (to stop further cooking), then drain again, and pat dry with paper towels.

Transfer lima beans to a bowl. Stir in oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Divide among four serving plates, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
