Innovative shepherd's pie with creamy lima bean puree instead of traditional mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • In a large container, soak the lima beans in cool water for 8 hours to overnight, then drain and rinse.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C, if using). Drain the soaked lima beans and cook following the package instructions.
  • Puree the cooked lima beans and milk in a blender until creamy, then season with salt and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Brown the chicken for 7 to 10 minutes. Add zucchini, tomato, cumin, and cayenne pepper, and cook until veggies are slightly tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to an 11x7-inch baking dish; layer with lima beans, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
