As an experiment, we made this in our Vita-Mix machine. It could probably be done in a regular food processor as well. First, cook the beans, drain, and add butter. Then chop up the almonds using the dry bowl. Then using the wet bowl, process the lima beans, salt, and one of the eggs altogether. Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the bean mixture and almonds and add enough bread crumbs to make it possible to mold the mixture into "cutlet" shapes. Divide it into 6 portions. Using your hands, make the shapes and insert a stalk of celery for the bone. Dredge in beaten egg and then crumbs. Fry or bake. Serve with tomato sauce.
