Sweet Soul Succotash
(makes 3-4 servings)
1 cup whole kernel corn
1 cup lima beans
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup broth or cream
salt & pepper, to taste
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté corn until it begins to brown, but take care not to burn the butter!
Add remaining ingredients and simmer until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Note: You can use frozen or canned corn, but I prefer to use fresh. If you choose fresh corn, just shuck and cut kernels from the ear, using a sharp knife. If you use canned corn, drain the liquid before sautéing, but you can save it for use in place of the broth in step two. Be careful, most canned corn has added salt, so be sure to adjust accordingly. Lima beans can be purchased in several forms, including frozen, dried and canned -- I like to use frozen. If you are planning to use dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight and cook them according to the package directions before using in this recipe. If you choose canned beans, drain and discard the water.
