Open in Pepper →Corn And Beans Cooked In Butter
Succotash is the side you make when the meat is already going and you need something on the plate beside it. Corn, lima beans, a good bit of butter, and about fifteen minutes of stirring.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when sweet corn is cheap in summer, or in the dead of winter when a bag of frozen corn and limas is all that's in the freezer.
Every recipe here is a real version of it: Simple Succotash with frozen corn and limas in a stick of butter, Easy Succotash with minced onion and garlic, Summerin' succotash with okra stirred in, and Sweet Potato Succotash with red bell pepper and onion.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cook the limas first
Lima beans take longer than corn — give them 8 to 10 minutes in simmering water before the corn goes in so nothing turns to mush.
- 2
Brown the onion slowly
Cook minced white onion in butter over medium-low for 5 to 6 minutes until it's soft and just golden, not dark.
- 3
Let the liquid cook off
Frozen corn and limas throw off water. Uncover the pan the last 3 to 4 minutes so the butter coats instead of pooling.
- 4
Add garlic last
Stir in a tablespoon of minced garlic during the final minute — any longer over the heat and it goes bitter.
