Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1.5 cups fresh lima beans (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.33 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the fresh corn kernels and lima beans to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, just until they start to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, parmesan, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the cream thickens slightly and coats the vegetables.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve the creamy succotash warm as a side dish or with a crusty loaf of bread for a complete meal.
