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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 5
Add the lima beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season with black pepper and remove the skillet from heat.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice for a burst of fresh flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
