A delightful twist on a classic lima bean dish, featuring zesty flavors and a creamy cheese topping.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the beans as they cook.
Add the butter beans to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Drain the beans and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Rinsing with cold water helps retain the beans' texture.
Transfer the beans to a mixing bowl.
Ensure the beans are well-drained to avoid a watery dish.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together to emulsify them.
Pour the dressing over the beans and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Divide the beans among serving plates and sprinkle with grated Pecorino cheese.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
