Grape Tomato Succotash
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 pound fresh lima beans in pods, shelled, or 10 ounces thawed frozen lima beans (2 cups)
- 1 cup fresh (from 2 medium ears) or thawed frozen yellow sweet corn
- 1/2 small jalapeño pepper, with seeds, thinly sliced crosswise
- 3/4 cup plain unsweetened sunflower milk beverage or almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, lima beans, corn, and jalapeño, and sauté until the vegetables are heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the sunflower milk beverage and salt, and sauté until the vegetables are tender and liquid is fully reduced, about 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes and vinegar, and sauté until the tomatoes are heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the cilantro. Adjust seasoning.
2. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual bowls, garnish with additional cilantro, if desired, and serve.
OPTIONAL:
For a “With Meat” version:
One serving: Use a pinch less sea salt in the main recipe. Cut 1 slice hickory-smoked uncured bacon crosswise into 1/3-inchwide slices. Sauté the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until fully browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to unbleached paper towels to drain. After stirring in the cilantro in step 1, transfer 1 rounded cup of the succotash to a small serving bowl. Sprinkle with the bacon.
Full recipe: Use 1/4 teaspoon sea salt in the main recipe instead of 1/2 teaspoon. Cut 4 slices hickory-smoked uncured bacon crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide slices. Sauté the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to unbleached paper towels to drain. After stirring in the cilantro in step 1, stir in the bacon.
