Ingredient
Direction
Peel the lemon in a 1-inch strip. Set aside the remaining lemon zest and juice. Warm olive oil in a pan.
1
Add two thyme stems, garlic clove, and lemon peel to the pan. Let them simmer and infuse for 3–5 minutes.
2
Thyme, lemon peel, and garlic should be removed from oil. Cook the cooked lima beans in flavored oil for 10–12 minutes until tender.
3
To make up for the loss of the salty flavor of the feta, you might also want to season the finished dish with a little extra salt.
4
After turning off the heat, add feta, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
5
Add salt and pepper to taste. Put everything in a bowl. Top with one thyme sprig's leaves.
6
Try adding cheese and stop when the flavor is balanced. Serve lima beans pan-fried immediately.
