Butter Beans?

Butter beans are nutritional goodness.  They are like green lima beans but white and buttery.  And I always love their consistency and starchy like flavor (hiding tons of protein) but could never really cook them very well.   Luckily I have eradicated that problem and now pass on the perfect coupling.

• Rinse can of beans
• Chop up 1 small shallot.  
• Warm butter (2-3 tbs) in pan, add shallots.  Let cook for a few minutes.  
• Add beans, stir.  Add salt.
• Let stand on low for about 3 mins to allow the beans to soak up some of the butter
• Add fresh chopped sage (I haven't perfected this measurement but start out with 1.5 tsp of fresh)

Serve with glee.
