Super Sweet Charred Corn Succotash

Pair a colorful side dish with any main dish
staple on your family's favorites list.
This is a great recipe for kids learning to use
pincher fingers and the names of colors.

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh fava beans, shelled (1 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups fresh corn kernels, cut from 4 ears of corn
1 small onion, finely diced
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Directions:
Blanch the fava beans in a pot of lightly
salted boiling water for 2 minutes and drain.
Rinse the beans under cold water to stop the cooking.
Peel off and discard the green skins; set aside the beans.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the corn, onion, garlic, and salt and cook,
stirring frequently, until the vegetables
are slightly charred and golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and beans and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, add the scallion, and toss well.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
