Confetti Succotash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 shallot, minced
3/4 cup lima beans, thawed if frozen, drained if canned
3/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped in small dice
3/4 cup corn kernel, thawed if frozen, drained if canned
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine (something good enough to drink, but not fancy)
1/4 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Preparation

Place the bacon in a cold skillet, and begin to cook over medium low heat to render the fat.
Once the bacon is cooked through, but not crispy, add the shallot, Lima beans, bell pepper, and corn.
Cook until the shallot begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, and continue cooking for a few more minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Add the wine, and cook until it is nearly evaporated.
Add the chicken stock, and cook until it's reduced by half.
Add the cream, and cook for a few more minutes, until it starts to thicken slightly.
Remove from the heat, add the cheese, and stir to combine.
Taste the sauce, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
