Succotash

3 ears of corn, kernels cut off the cob (about 2 cups / 270g)

1 medium green zucchini, chopped (about 1 cup / 135g)

½ yellow, orange or red bell pepper, chopped (about ¾ cup / 95g)

1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and veins removed, minced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons dried basil

⅛ teaspoon cayenne powder (omit if you don’t like spicy)

1 cup cooked Lima Beans ( 200g)

1 cucumber, seeds removed and chopped (no need to peel / about 1 cup / 145g)

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half or quarters - your choice (170g)

2 green onions, finely sliced (root end cut off, use green and white portions)

1 cup (130g) sweet white onion, chopped

2 tablespoons lime juice

¼ cup parsley, chopped (10g)

1 tablespoon dill, chopped

½ teaspoon salt

6 turn black pepper

First you must shuck your corn (remove the husk and silk). Next, using a sharp knife,

carefully cut the kernels off each cob and transfer them to a medium- sized bowl, along

with any of the juice from the cobs that may have been released while cutting. In that

same bowl, add the prep and measured out zucchini, bell pepper, jalapeno, minced

garlic, dried basil and cayenne powder.

In a seperate smaller bowl, add the Lima Beans, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and green

onions.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add the sweet onion and a

pinch of salt and cook for about 3 minutes, until the onion begins to lightly brown. Add

a little splash of water if the onion sticks to the skillet or looks dry.

Transfer the first bowl of ingredients to the skillet (corn, zucchini, bell pepper, jalapeno,

minced garlic, dried basil and cayenne powder) to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes,

stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to soften, but still has some crunch to it.

Add the second bowl of ingredients to the skillet (Lima Beans, cucumber, cherry

tomatoes and green onion), and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally,

until the tomatoes just begin to soften.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the lime juice, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.

Gently stir until mixed well
