Ingredient IQ
Named after the city of Lima, Peru, the lima bean plant (also known as butter or chad beans) is said to have been cultivated since about 6000 BC. Explorers from Spain carried the bean with them to areas in Central America and the Philippines, while Native Americans grew their own strain right here in the US.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the quinoa

  • Rinse the quinoa.
In a small sauce pot, combine the quinoa and 1 cup [2 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Make the tok-sel lima beans

  • Coarsely chop the pumpkin seeds.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
  • Juice the lime (the juice will be divided between the lima beans and the avocado).
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the lima beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin seeds and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the green parts of the scallions, parsley, and half the lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the lima beans cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the avocado and orange; finish the quinoa

  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ½-inch pieces.
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange; working over a small bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to release the segments into the bowl. Alternatively, cut the fruit in half crosswise and separate each half into segments. Discard any seeds. Set aside for serving.
In another small bowl, stir together the avocado, achiote powder, remaining lime juice, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To the pot with the quinoa, stir in the white parts of the scallions and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the quinoa to individual bowls. Top with the tok-sel lima beans, avocado, and orange and serve.
