CHEF JOHN'S SUCCOTASH



Chef John's Succotash image

This may be America's oldest vegetable recipe, coming from a Narragansett Indian word, 'msickquatash,' which, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means 'boiled corn kernels.' When most of you hear the word succotash, you probably don't think of a delicious vegetable side dish, you probably think of the catchphrase, 'Sufferin' succotash!' But succotash really is a great and very underrated recipe.

SUCCOTASH PASTA



Succotash Pasta image

If you crave a new summer pasta, try this dinner inspired by Succotash-a hearty southern side dish made with sweet corn and lima beans. Our version substitutes zucchini for the pale green beans and adds some kick with crisped bacon and jalapeño.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 slices bacon (4 ounces), chopped
12 ounces short, tubular pasta, such as penne
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
2 small zucchini (10 ounces total), halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons (about 2 cups)
2 basil sprigs, plus 1/3 cup fresh leaves, sliced if large, for serving
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels, plus milk scraped from cobs (from 2 ears)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1 jalapeño (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), minced
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
1 1/4 ounces Parmigiano- Reggiano, grated (1/2 cup), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until crisp and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Remove fat from skillet.
  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion, zucchini, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, about 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil, corn kernels and milk, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook just until garlic is fragrant and tomatoes begin to release their juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds more. Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water; continue to cook, tossing, until sauce thickens slightly and clings evenly to pasta, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; remove and discard basil sprigs. Stir in cheese. If needed, add more pasta water, a little at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta again. Serve, topped with bacon, a drizzle of oil, more cheese, and basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good option.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Succotash is a quick-cooking dish, so be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of the flavor of succotash. Use a broth that you like the taste of, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even corn broth.
  • Season to taste: Succotash is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Succotash is best served immediately after it is made. The vegetables will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Succotash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. With its fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and tender corn, succotash is a dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give succotash a try.
