Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 quarts, about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 ears of corn, kernels and milk scraped from cobs (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cooked pinto beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked navy or cannellini beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked black beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, saute the bacon until very crispy and all of the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain. Set aside. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings from the pan and save for another use. To the hot bacon drippings add the onion and cook until lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the corn, thyme, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, remaining teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a brisk simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost completely reduced, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the green onions, stir to combine, then cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry. Reheat slowly, if necessary, before serving.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
Coarse kosher salt
1 large garlic clove, minced
3 cups chopped red tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 1/4 cups corn kernels cut from 4 ears of corn (preferably 2 ears of white corn and 2 ears of yellow corn)
2 cups fresh lima beans (from about 2 pounds pods) or 10 to 11 ounces frozen lima beans or baby butter beans, thawed
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sprinkle with coarse salt. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, corn, and lima beans. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until corn and lima beans are tender and tomatoes are soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before continuing.
  • Stir in basil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young vegetables: The younger the corn and lima beans, the sweeter and more tender they will be. Look for corn with bright green husks and plump kernels, and lima beans that are small and brightly colored.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Corn and lima beans are both delicate vegetables that can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are tender, but still retain a slight crunch.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can really brighten up the flavor of corn and lima beans. Try adding some chopped basil, oregano, or thyme, or a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
  • Serve immediately: Corn and lima beans are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Corn and lima beans are a delicious and versatile summer vegetable duo. They can be enjoyed on their own, as a side dish, or as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. With their sweet, slightly nutty flavor and tender texture, corn and lima beans are a great addition to any summer meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious way to enjoy the summer harvest, give corn and lima beans a try!
