Directions

1. If using fresh lima beans, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the lima beans. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and shallot and sauté for 5 minutes, or until onions are soft and barely golden.
3. Add the zucchini and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until zucchini is soft.
4. Stir in the lima beans, corn, and tomatoes. Sauté for five minutes more, or until tomatoes have released their juices and everything is heated through. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, chives, basil, and lemon juice. Serve.
