BAKED LARGE LIMAS WITH SPINACH AND FETA
Steps:
- 1. Cook the beans according to the directions. Remove from the heat, and drain through a colander set over a bowl. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking dish (1 1/2 to 2-quart), and add 1 scant cup of the broth. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large skillet over high heat, and wilt the spinach, in batches, in the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove to a colander, rinse briefly with cold water, then squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in the skillet, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, dill and chives, and stir together just until the ingredients are combined, less than a minute. Remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Spread the spinach in an even layer over the beans. Sprinkle the feta over the spinach, and drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Bake 30 minutes until sizzling. Serve hot or warm. Advance preparation: The cooked beans will keep for four to five days in the refrigerator. You can prepare the spinach two to three days ahead and refrigerate. You can assemble the gratin several hours before you bake it.
