Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces fresh or frozen baby lima beans (2 cups)
4 center-cut bacon slices
1 cup chopped sweet onion (from 1 small onion)
4 ounces fresh okra, cut into ½-inch-thick slices (1 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (1 tsp.)
3 cups fresh corn kernels (4 ears)
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
5 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved (1 cup)
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
  • Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and sliced basil; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.

SUPER QUICK PAN-SEARED EARLY SUMMER SUCCOTASH



Super Quick Pan-Seared Early Summer Succotash image

In this fresh take on succotash, we use a pan-steaming technique (no steamer basket required) to cut down on cooking time and keep the beans and corn crisp-tender rather than ultra-soft. For succotash, fresh corn always tastes more delicious than frozen, but thawed frozen corn would certainly be a good stand-in here in a pinch. If you are using fresh corn, after you cut the kernels off, run the dull side of your knife down the kernel and scrape some of the corn "milk" into the pan, too. This recipe makes a small portion but can be doubled or even tripled to serve a crowd.

Yield Serves 4 (serving size: 3/4 cup)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced shallots
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
2 1/2 cups chopped green beans
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup torn fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced shallots and sliced garlic to skillet; cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add chopped green beans, fresh corn kernels, and water; cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until beans are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in torn fresh basil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
