A comment about a Portuguese recipe called Judías verdes fritas in Spanish:
Este sencillo plato de “pescaditos de la huerta” es típico de la zona de Estremadura y puede preparase con cualquier tipo de judías verdes, aunque en la receta tradicional portuguesa se utilizan las judías redondas amarillas (mantequeras) cuando todavía están verdes.

butter beans???
Could this be what they are referring to? I must admit I've never heard of judias mantequeras.

butter (beans)
mantequeras must refer to mantequilla or manteca (=lard/butter)
At a guess I'd say they were butter beans or if not, it refers to the texture, buttery

butter peas
Your recipe probably refers to something called butter peas, not butter beans, which are kidney shaped rather than round. I’ve never seen butter peas, but they’re listed on the website of Pictsweet, one of the largest sellers of frozen foods in the US < http://www.pictsweet.com/premdetail.shtml>. Local Harvest, “the number one informational resource for the Buy Local movement and the top place on the Internet where people find information on direct marketing family farms” also mentions butter peas < http://www.localharvest.org/peas.jsp>.
According to <http://www.foodreference.com/html/artbeansfresh.html> butter peas are a less starchy variety of butter or lima beans.
Some of the names for butter, or lima, beans (Phaseolus lunatus) are chilipuca, chilipuco, frijol reina, frijol mantequilla, queen bean, frijol lima, judía limeña, frijol viterra < http://www.cidicco.hn/chilipuca.htm>. And on the Atlantic coast of Colombia they are known as carauta, caraura y zaragoza < http://www.ipgri.cgiar.org/pgrnewsletter/article.asp?id_arti...
For pictures of butter beans, go to < images.google.com/images?q=butter%20beans&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi>
And for butter bean=lima bean,

yellow dwarf beans
on re-reading it realise it's these, the yellow snap/bobby/dwarf/French (but rounded rather than flat) beans
(which I think are very nice!) - they're often described as buttery or have butter/beurre/etc. in their name

This is a nice bush wax bean. It bears from early to midseason, and makes large numbers of medium-sized bright yellow pods.
They have a smooth buttery taste, just like its climbing cousin 'Mont d'Or'
