Mashed Lima Beans

August 30, 2009 by smallkitchenbigideas

Last weekend I was wandering around Lincoln Square and walked into one of the independent bookstores and found Canyon Ranch: Nourish: Indulgently Healthy Cuisine. I started flipping through it and found a bunch of great recipes.

I decided to make the mashed lima beans and chicken with latin rub. The mashed lima beans were great although the book said to use a masher but I had to put them in the food processor to get the right consistency. Overall, a great side dish.

I have had some of the canyon ranch books on my amazon wish list. Glad to hear this one has some good recipes, my sister in law says the food at the ranch is amazing.
