aka: lima beans, baby limas, large limas, butterbeans, speckled butter beans

slack: unforgiving — butter beans that stay whole and separate are undercooked; a few have to break up and thicken the pot before it is done

pairs-with: ham-hock-stock, skillet-cornbread, oxtails, collard-greens

washing-up: the Dutch oven

keeps: 4 days — they turn creamier as they sit, and the liquor sets to a light gel you stir back in warm

step: butter and salt at the end
