3 cups (750 mL) frozen lima beans or thawed frozen peas
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) chicken or vegetable stock
8 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
Pinch granulated sugar
2 tbsp (25 mL) finely shredded fresh mint (optional)
Preparation:
In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook lima beans until very tender, about 6 minutes; drain and set aside. (If using peas, omit this step.)
In saucepan, combine stock, garlic, salt and sugar; simmer over low heat until garlic is tender, about 8 minutes. Add lima beans; increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Using immersion blender or food processor, purée. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Mix 1/2 cup/125 mL additional stock into purée; reheat until warmed through.) Garnish with mint, if using.
