Directions

1

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet or chicken fryer over medium heat. Add chopped onion, green pepper and celery and sauté until onion starts to brown. Add garlic and sauté a minute longer. Add white wine and drained limas and bring to a boil. Turn heat low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until wine is mostly reduced. Add tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer another ten minutes. Serve as a side dish, or-- believe it or not-- over spaghetti. Cook 1/2 lb. spaghetti. Add a Tbsp of olive oil and 1/4 cup of grated cheese to the drained pasta. Place on a plate and add limas. Extra grated cheese is good, too. For more ideas, see http://sneakykitchen.com/Recipes/limas_bretonne.htm
