I love this dish. It's so very simply prepared with just a few ingredients. This allows the flavor of the vegetables to shine. When you are serving a heavy or cheesy dish, a light side dish is perfect.

1 T. butter

1 red jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced

2 cups frozen corn

2 cups frozen lima beans

2 scallions, chopped

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.

Add the corn, lima beans, 1/2 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the water has evaporated. Season with a little more salt, and stir in the scallions.
