Edamame Succotash

                                     Makes 8 servings
Edamame is just a fancy word for heart-healthy soybeans--used here in place of traditional lima beans. Look for them in the frozen vegetable case.

2.......................tablespoons canola oil
1 ......................medium-size orange bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 ......................medium-size red bell pepper, seeded and diced

2-1/2 ...............cups frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 ..................cup chicken broth
1 .....................(16-oz.) package frozen edamame, thawed
1..................... tablespoon butter
1 .....................tablespoon chopped fresh mint
                       **Salt and pepper to taste**

 
1.            Sauté onion in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes or until tender. Add bell peppers and corn, and cook 5 more minutes or until tender.
2.           Stir in chicken broth, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Stir in edamame; cook 3 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Remove from heat, and stir in mint and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
