Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen lima beans
• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 unit small onion, minced
• 1 unit red bell pepper, diced
• 1 unit garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh lima beans and corn, prepare them by removing kernels from the cob and rinsing the beans. If using frozen varieties, let them thaw slightly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the lima beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cooked lima beans and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
