BEST-EVER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
• Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and sliced basil; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.

JIMMY'S SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Place corn on grill pan, and grill, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove from grill pan, and set aside. When cool enough to handle, shuck the corn and cut the kernels from the cobs.
• Heat butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add fava beans and cherry tomatoes. Stir until completely coated with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley. Serve immediately or let cool at room temperature. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a few hours. Reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed through.
