Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 16-ounce bag frozen lima beans
1 16-ounce bag frozen sweet white corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
2 poblano chilies,* seeded, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook lima beans in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in white corn. Drain well.
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add bell peppers, chilies, garlic, and oregano; sauté until peppers are almost tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in lima beans and corn, then broth and cream. Simmer until vegetables are tender and coated with cream, about 20 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro. Season succotash to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Stir over medium heat to rewarm.)
  • Transfer succotash to serving bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup cilantro.
  • Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
