Summertime Succotash

1 tbsp Earth Balance butter
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup diced red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (10 oz) package frozen lima beans, thawed
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar



In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and oil together. Add the onion, saute for about 5 minutes or until the onion begins to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
Stir in the lima beans and saute for 5 minutes. Add the corn and tomatoes and cook for only 1 more minute, just enough to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients: parsley, basil and vinegar. Serve warm or chilled.

Mamma's Note: I really enjoyed eating this warm over a bowl of brown rice. Also a great picnic item. Serve with a baguette and some fried or roasted chicken.
