A Yummy Dinner

I won't usually share recipes because that's not what this blog is about but I did fix a delicious dinner tonight and thought I'd contribute this recipe. It's not an original. It's from Alicia Siverstone's book The Kind Diet, a vegan cookbook. Yes folks, I am a vegan but we will not get into that tonight. Now to the recipe. I paired it with one of my favorite wines, a red which my cardiologist INSISTS I have a little of every day. Who am I to argue with a professional, right?


Here it is:

Summertime Succotash

1 T Earth Balance Butter

1 t. olive oil - (I pretty much doubled that)

1 c diced red onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1 10 oz package frozen baby lima beans, thawed

1 c fresh or frozen corn

1 c cherry tomatoes, halved

2 T fresh parsley, chopped

2 T fresh basil, chopped ( Since I grow both these herbs, I just walk out to the garden and snip what I need)

1 T white or red balsamic vinegar

Heat butter and oil together in a lg skillet over med heat. Add onion, saute for 5-7 min. Add garlic, cook another min. Stir in limas and saute for 5 min. Add corn and tomatoes and saute 1 min longer. Remove from heat, stir in herbs and vinegar. Serve warm or chilled.

Especially good with a spinach salad minus the bacon, of course.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!! I did.
