Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen lima beans
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Zucchini, diced
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Unsalted vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
If using fresh lima beans, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. If using frozen lima beans, rinse under cold water to thaw slightly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the lima beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Season with black pepper and remove the skillet from heat.
Stir in the chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
