Sweet Corn and Butterbean Succotash
Ingredients
2 cups shelled butter beans
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon bacon grease or butter
1 cup minced Vidalia onion
2 cups freshly shucked corn kernels
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, basil, tarragon, sorrel or other herb (optional)
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cooked bacon (optional)
Instructions
Place the butter beans in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add about a teaspoon of salt, bring to a boil and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. Drain, shock in ice water and reserve.
In a large skillet, heat the bacon grease over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook until the corn slighlty softens, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked butter beans and heavy cream and continue to cook until the cream reduces slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, fresh herbs and bacon, if desired, and continue to cook just until heated through. Serve.
