I love a wonderful vegetable dish and this one looks to me like a real winner! From Gourmet.
Cook bacon in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp.
Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then cook onion and bell pepper in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add lima beans, corn, water, salt, and pepper, then simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.
Increase heat to high and add cream, then boil, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in herbs and salt to taste.
Serve sprinkled with bacon.
