I love a wonderful vegetable dish and this one looks to me like a real winner! From Gourmet. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch-wide pieces |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch dice |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen baby lima beans |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn kernels |
1 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp.
2. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then cook onion and bell pepper in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Add lima beans, corn, water, salt, and pepper, then simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.
4. Increase heat to high and add cream, then boil, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Stir in herbs and salt to taste.
6. Serve sprinkled with bacon.
