I could see draining off some of the grease, but then adding oil back is just silly. Too salty, perhaps?

I roast the corn and char the tomatoes on the grill as well as use edamame for the beans. This will be my contribution to the Memorial day festivities.

Really. I didn't have any cranberry beans, but it was great anyway, and I just served it with big slices of ciabatta-turned-garlic-bread. My husband and I have been making it once a week for the past 4 weeks now. Thanks for this, and for all of the fabulousity that is your website! This is my new favorite meal. Really.

Then, press and pop out the beans! I used tender, fresh baby limas from my garden. Perfect recipe! Tip on the fresh limas – use scissors to slice around the outer edge of each pod.

Good call on the bacon and croutons. I also added a sprinkling of salt and pepper to the final product and used white wine vinegar instead of sherry vinegar. This is the perfect way to use that late summer corn! Thank you, Deb. Even my meat and potatoes loving boyfriend loved this. Good call on the bacon and croutons.

(As opposed to baking. I am, in terms of personality, most definitely a baker.) I went to the GreenMarket late, and couldn't get shelling beans, so I got some mystery unlabeled whole beans, blanched them for thirty seconds, and cut them into one inch pieces. No arugala left either, so I went with escarole. Was vigilant for the moment when the tomatoes "just start to lose shape," and then, oops, overcooked. Did not wait for it to cool before adding the greens, so they kind of wilted. And cut down on the bacon a bit, so at the last minute added some shoyu for some umami (hate that word.) Despite all my efforts to screw it up, this was freaking delicious. Something about the acidity of the sherry vinegar, meatiness of the bacon, sweetness of the corn and tomatoes, the herbaceousness of the basil. With a poached egg, cause I was rolling SK style. Deb, you are awesome. Everyone, make this! Consider this my introduction into the improvisational nature of cooking. (As opposed to baking. I am, in terms of personality, most definitely a baker.)
