c |
Frozen lima beans (I used fresh) |
| 1 |
cn |
(28 ounce) whole tomatoes |
| 2 |

Fresh or frozen cut corn |
| 1/4 |
c |
Chopped fresh cilantro |

Grated cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack (we used white sharp cheddar) |

INSTRUCTIONS
OPTIONAL GARNISHES
Drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice. In a heavy nonreactive soup pot or
saucepan, saute the onions and chile or cayenne in the oil for about 5
minutes, until the onions begin to soften. Add the cumin and lima beans and
saute, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Add the juice from the tomatoes,
cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Chop the whole tomatoes right in the can.
Stir the chopped tomatoes and corn into the pan. Cover and simmer until the
vegetables are tender (recipe said this should only take about 10 minutes,
but it took a lot longer. I don't know if it was because I was using fresh
instead of frozen lima beans but it took more like 30 or 40 minutes). Stir
in cilantro and add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve plain or topped
with suggested garnishes. Serve over rice, polenta, or quinoa, or with warm
tortillas or cornbread.
Recipe is from _Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home_ and was modified just
slightly by me.
