Big Beans

This is a simple and tasty side, good warmed or at room temperature. As I cannot obtain the gigantes dried beans locally, I use the dried large limas or sometimes the Italian cannellinis. The limas cook up somewhat similar to the gigantes that I have tasted in the tinned preparations that come from Greece that I buy at my local European deli. The cannellinis are smaller with a creamier texture. Both are very good.

Yes, very good beans.

I happened to have some gigantes on hand. DH loves them, every since we first had them in Spain. Made up a half recipe of this to go with a pork stew. Easy and very good. Will definitely make this again.
