Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) coconut or olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) cooked baby lima beans
  • 1 cup (250 mL) corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tsp / 5 to 10 mL minced chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
  • For a quick weeknight meal, use canned (rinsed and drained) or frozen lima beans. No pre-cooking required!
  • Control the heat by starting with 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) of chipotle pepper. The adobo sauce adds smokiness, while the peppers add heat. You can always add more at the end.

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Stir in the cooked lima beans, corn, red bell pepper, water, lime juice, minced chipotle pepper, and salt.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture looks too dry, add a splash more water.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed, then serve warm.
