How to Make Baby Lima Beans And Corn In Chive Cream

  1. Cook 4 slices bacon in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp (about 6-8 minutes).
  2. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, and 1/2 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened (5-6 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 cup baby lima beans, 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender (about 8 minutes).
  5. Increase heat to high. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream. Boil uncovered until the sauce has reduced by half (7-10 minutes).
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives and additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the reserved crispy bacon.
