Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh baby lima beans
- 2 cups fresh lady peas
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup chopped green onion

In a medium saucepan, bring limas, peas, and water to cover to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add green onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.

Serve immediately.
