First
In a small saucepot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sweat until
translucent. Add bay leaf and butter beans, then just cover with chicken stock.
Bring beans to a gentle simmer, and cook till tender, about 25-30 minutes. Do
not overcook!
Second:
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter or
olive oil, and allow to heat 15 seconds more. Add corn and okra and cook for
2 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking and remember that raw corn tends to
pop when in a hot sauté pan. Be careful! Add butter beans, tomatoes,
and some of the reserved cooking liquid. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add more
of the reserved liquid if mixture is dry. Add butter, salt and pepper. Cook
30 seconds longer. You should have a rich, thick sauce in the pan. Check for
seasoning, adjust, add basil, stir well and serve immediately! There will be
no leftovers.
