Fresh Southern Succotash with Bacon

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.

Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lima beans, corn and tomatoes; cook, stirring, until the lima beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Add okra and water and cook, stirring, until the okra is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 7 minutes more. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in the bacon before serving.
