2 12oz pkg green baby lima beans
3 c chicken broth, i used low sodium
1 c water
1 12oz pkg kielbasa smoked sausage
3 c fresh corn kernals
1 c chopped onion
2 clove garlic, minced

1 c grape tomatoes, or any small tomatoes, i used a mixture i had on hand
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, i used freeze dried
fresh sage, parsley, rosemary, thyme, marjarom, a small amount of each, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In dutch oven or large pan, bring beans, broth and water to a boil over med high heat. Reduce heat and simmer beans for about 15 min. until tender. Drain beans and set aside. Reserve broth.
  • 2. In large cast iron skillet, cut smoked sausage into 1inch pieces. Saute sausage until brown. .
  • 3. Add corn, onion, and garlic. Cook about 5 min, or until browned.
  • 4. Add lima beans, pepper, chives, fresh herbs, and 2 cups of reserved broth. Cover and cook over medium- low heat for 10 min.
  • 5. Stir in tomatoes and vinegar; cook until tomatoes begin to soften, about 8 minutes.
  • 6. season with salt and pepper to taste. I do not use salt, so I did not add any. I thought the Kielbasa was salty enough.
