List of Ingredients

◦  3 cups fresh or frozen baby lima beans
◦  2 tablespoons olive oil
◦  2 tablespoons butter
◦  1 bunch green onions, chopped
◦  1 tablespoon minced garlic
◦  4 cups fresh yellow corn kernels (about 6 ears)

◦  1½ teaspoons salt
◦  ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Recipe

In a medium saucepan, combine lima beans with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add green onion and garlic; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add corn, zucchini, lima beans, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add tomatoes, cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until tomatoes are heated through. Top with crumbled bacon.
