Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place 1½ cups of the corn in a food processor with the milk. Process until pureed.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining corn and the lima beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the corn puree.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and stir in tomatoes, olives, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

This was good and simple but way more than four servings. Make sure to defrost the beans, I forgot and they were still a little underdone at the end of cooking time.
