Ingredients

  • 4 ounces of hearty bacon slices, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces,
  • 1 medium onion, diced into medium chunks,
  • a package of frozen baby lima beans weighing 10 ounces,
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning,
  • a package of frozen sweet corn weighing 10 ounces,
  • half a cup of rich heavy cream,
  • 1 and a half teaspoons of freshly minced thyme leaves,
  • 2 teaspoons of freshly snipped chives.

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven, sizzle bacon on medium-high heat until it turns wonderfully crisp, which usually takes around 7 to 8 minutes. Once done, delicately transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.

Step 2

Retain about 2 tablespoons of the flavorful bacon drippings in the pot and toss in the onions. Saute them until they reach a delightful tenderness, usually around 5 minutes. Introduce the lima beans to the mix along with a half cup of water, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper. Let it all come to a bubbly boil. Then, lower the heat, cover, and let it gently simmer until the beans are partially cooked, which takes approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3

Now, join the party with the corn, cream, and a hint of thyme. Bring it back to a gentle simmer and let it all mingle until the vegetables are completely cooked through and the cream melds in smoothly, avoiding any pooling, for about 5 more minutes. If you wish to prepare this in advance, feel free to refrigerate the succotash at this stage for up to 2 days.

Step 4

When it's time to indulge, mix the crispy bacon and fresh chives into the warm succotash for a burst of flavor and color. This versatile recipe can be effortlessly doubled for larger gatherings or heartier appetites.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your pantry shelves with labeled containers for easy access to ingredients like corn, beans, and bacon bits.
  2. 2. Store fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary in a cup of water on your kitchen counter to keep them fresh and fragrant for longer.
