Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen Lima Beans

- 1 Bell Pepper diced
- 3 Cloves of Garlic minced
- 5-6 Fresh Okra pods sliced
- 2 cups Corn Kernels fresh, frozen, or canned

- ¼ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning Mix store-bought or homemade

Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add lima beans and cook about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Heat cast iron skillet on high heat. Using no oil or fat, add the okra and sear1-2 minutes per side. Okra should have a slight char. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the bacon and sauté 2-3 minutes rendering the bacon fat into the pan. Remove bacon and reserve.
- Add the onions and peppers sautéing 2 minutes. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds mixing well.
- Stir in the corn, cajun seasoning mix, lima beans, plus the cajun butter. Mix well and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Remove off heat. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Add the grape tomatoes and basil. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve warm.
Notes
- If using frozen be sure to thaw first. If canned, then drain ahead.
- Cajun butter is just softened butter that is seasoned with cajun spices and then refrigerated overnight. Checkout this compound butter tutorial for help making your own. It’s really simple but adds a lot of flavor to different dishes.
