Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1-1/2 lb lima beans, fresh or frozen
4 c corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1/3 c chives, minced
1 Tbsp tarragon, chopped
1 Tbsp butter
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Bring the lima beans and 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 5 minutes for frozen beans. Drain and set aside.
  • 2. While the lima beans are simmering, put the 4 cups of corn and 2 inches of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 3. Drain well and roast the corn in a large, dry cast iron skillet, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lima beans, chives, tarragon, butter, salt and pepper. Cook until the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. Serve at once.
