Vegetarian Succotash
Instructions
Heat oil or butter in a heavy or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onions and cook over medium heat until slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, if using, and stir to prevent sticking.
Add peppers, corn and lima beans. Sprinkle generously with paprika and cook for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are soft and the flavours meld with the oil or butter.
Add optional cream and heat though to a simmer.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve atop hot freshly-cooked quinoa (see below). Dot with additional olive oil or butter, if desired, and sprinkle with paprika.
