Christmas Limas are an intriguing variation on the traditional Lima. In Italy, you'll find them as "Fagioli del Papa", or "Pope's beans". Also known stateside as "Chestnut Lima". A true lima bean, originally from Peru (hence Lima), this gorgeous bean has all the "meat" of limas but with a chestnut flavor. They're big and bold and can stand up to a chile sauce or curry or simply be enjoyed with a drizzle of olive oil and a few grates of dry goat cheese. One of my most successful inventions was cooked Christmas Limas in a gorgonzola sauce. I still swoon a little when I think about this dish! If you grew up thinking you hated limas, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try. Suggestions: Side dish, curry, mixed with wild mushrooms, soup ingredient. This is one of those beans that would be great with tons of garlic and sautéed wild mushrooms!   Product of California. These regional beans were grown in the Unites States by Rancho Gordo
