I purchased canned lima beans in the Amish area we visit this year. They are very hard to find around our area for some reason. I have had them sitting around waiting to try.
I used them to make hummus. Delicious!!
I did not cook the lima beans, as I do not when I use chickpeas, but I may try cooking them next time (to see if it would be creamier, and/or cook from dried beans). I do not mind the texture regardless, and it tastes just like chickpeas in my own hummus recipe. Of course, I used home grown garlic, and it makes it the absolute best flavor.
I just swapped out the chickpeas for the canned lima beans (rinsed and drained), and it was fantastic.
My traditional hummus RECIPE.
In the past we have tried beet hummus, black bean hummus, pumpkin hummus, green bell pepper hummus, white bean hummus and others. I think the only one yet we have not tried is sweet potato hummus.

I just made hummus for the second time and love how this batch turned out. I may have to try with lima beans next time.
God bless.
Jackie, I would have never thought to use Lima beans, but it is very good. Even my husband loves it. I guess I'll be on the look out for either organic dried lima beans or canned next year.
Interesting comparison of chickpeas and lima beans. I hated lima beans when I was a kid and never eat them now. But I'd be interested in trying your hummus recipe.
Leigh, my Mom never cooked lima beans, so it's interesting that they are so hard to find and find good recipes for.
