Lima Beans

188. Lima beans require from half an hour to three quarters to boil. They should be boiled in as little water as possible to preserve their flavor. As soon as they are soft take them out, drain them in a colander and season with butter, pepper and salt; pour them in a pan to be seasoned, as the butter would run through the colander.

Add salt to the water they are boiled in.
