Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium pot over high heat, bring the thawed lima beans and 3 cups vegetable broth to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes, then remove the beans from the broth using a slotted spoon and set them aside. Reserve 1 cup of the broth for later.
-
Step 2.
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the 8 slices of bacon. Fry until crisp, about 5–7 minutes, then transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
-
Step 3.
In the same pan with the bacon fat, add the 2 cups corn and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Then add the diced red onion and diced green and red bell peppers. Cook for about 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Step 4.
Sprinkle the seasoning salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the vegetables. Stir to combine, then add the reserved lima beans and the 1 cup of reserved vegetable broth. Stir well.
-
Step 5.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and add it to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the liquid reduces slightly. Add the diced roma tomatoes, stir, and cook for 1–2 minutes until just heated through. Serve immediately.
