Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot , chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 2-1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (stripped from 3-4 cobs; I use bicolor)
- 1 garlic clove , minced
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1-1/2 cups lima beans , cooked according to package directions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet (I use cast iron). Add shallot and corn to the pan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 7-8 minutes.
- Add garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomatoes are slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked lima beans, fresh basil, and parsley.
- Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Notes
- To easily strip corn cobs, place the tapered end of a shucked ear of corn into the center of a Bundt pan. Use a sharp knife to carefully shave kernels from the cob from top to bottom. The kernels will collect in the pan.
