SERVES 4

If you still haven't tried edamame, which are soybeans, you must. I am not a fan of tofu, but the beans taste nothing like that. They are both sweet and nutty, something like lima beans, but less starchy. This recipe is a quick, easy and healthy side dish made in the microwave, but it can also be made on the stovetop. This can easily be made in any amount and with any ratio of beans to corn preferred.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound frozen blanched and shelled edamame

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

1 cup frozen corn kernels

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Soybeans may be cooked on the stove or in the microwave. I prefer the microwave since I don't have to watch it so closely. Place the beans and onions to a microwavable dish. Add water and cook according to package directions, but only until almost done. (I did not use as much water as the package called for. I also did not cook the beans as long.) Add the corn and microwave 2 more minutes. Drain well. Stir in butter, salt and pepper. Return to microwave for one more minute. Serve immediately.
