Summer succotash is a great side dish filled with butter beans, zipper peas, loads of fresh corn, and bacon! It's excellent for those warm-weather cookouts.
Place lima beans and zipper peas in a medium-size pot, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the beans and peas are just tender.
Stir in the corn kernels, lima beans, zipper peas, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring often until the corn is just tender, about 5-6 minutes.
