Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 small shallots, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
- 1 cup shelled edamame or lima beans
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup zucchini, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid browning.
Stir in the corn and cook for 3 minutes, allowing it to slightly caramelize.
Add the edamame (or lima beans), asparagus, zucchini, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight bite.
Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, basil, and fresh lemon juice.
Season with additional salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant Spring Succotash!
