Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1.5 cups lima beans (frozen or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms.

Step 2

Cook the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and are golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the shallot and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the garlic, fresh thyme, and a pinch of kosher salt to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the sweet corn and lima beans and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Step 6

Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Season the mixture with the remaining kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Romano cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Transfer the succotash to a serving platter or bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
