Creamy Succotash with Bacon, Thyme, ad Chives
| 4 slices thick sliced bacon, diced |
| 1 medium onion, chopped |
| 1 (10 ounce) package frozen baby lima beans |
| ½ cup water |
| ¼ teaspoon salt |
| Freshly ground black pepper to taste |
| 1 (10 ounce) package frozen sweet corn |
| ½ cup cream |
| 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves |
| 2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives |
Fry bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towel. Drain all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Add onions to bacon drippings and sauté about 4 minutes. Add lima beans, water, salt, and pepper. Simmer, covered, about 5 minutes. Add corn, cream, and thyme; return to a simmer and warm about 5 more minutes. (Can be refrigerated at this point up to two days ahead.) When ready to serve, stir bacon and chives into warm succotash.
NOTE: This was in the USA Today week-end on January 15, 2006. I bought Green Giant frozen vegetables because they specified "no sauce" on the package. It is easy to do, easy to keep the ingredients on hand, and the taste is really good. I did not keep the lid on after I added the corn and cream, as it didn’t specify and I wanted the sauce to be less rather than more, altho that is just personal preference. I served it with shrimp and baked potato.
