DIRECTIONS
- Bring 1 quart of well-salted water to a boil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven and add butter beans. If they are fresh, cook for about 4 minutes. Frozen beans will need to cook for 8 minutes. Test for tenderness and then remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, over medium heat, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in onion, celery, and bell pepper, stirring to coat with butter and bacon fat. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the corn, garlic, and scallions and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently fold in the butter beans, then add cream, tarragon, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, or until succotash is heated through and the cream has started to thicken.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle with additional tarragon before serving.
