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

Directions

Step 1

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh corn kernels and lima beans to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Step 5

Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, just until they start to soften.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.

Step 8

Serve the creamy succotash warm as a side dish or with a crusty loaf of bread for a complete meal.
