SMOKY CHEESE GRITS WITH SUMMER SUCCOTASH
This recipe, adapted from "Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners," came to The Times in 2010 as part of a Pete Wells column on redefining the mise en place. Ms. Moulton uses downtime in the cooking process to an advantage: She instructs you to chop the onion and shuck the corn as the edamame cooks. The recipe comes together in about 40 minutes, making it a good one for a busy weeknight -- succotash without suffering.

Steps:
- Cook the edamame following the package directions; drain well. Cut the corn from the cobs, if using fresh corn. Finely chop the onion.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the onion, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes, until it has softened. Push the garlic through a garlic press into the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.
- Meanwhile, combine 2½ cups water, the milk, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Very gradually whisk in the grits, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy.
- While the milk and water are coming to a boil, halve the tomatoes and add them, with the vinegar, to the onions and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the edamame and corn and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Coarsely grate the cheese. Stir the cheese and butter into the grits and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the succotash on top of the grits and sprinkle with the chives.

MOM'S SAUSAGE SUCCOTASH
Not sure if there are any okra fans out here, but I LOVE the stuff. Growing up in the South, there was always okra around when the garden started producing, and this was a favorite of mine!! This is my Mom's Sausage Succotash, made healthier with turkey sausage. I sometimes swap out veggies, like a poblano for the green pepper, but usually I add what is listed. I also make a vegetarian version I will post as well.

SUCCOTASH WITH SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP
Succotash embodies the proverb "If it grows together, it goes together." This dish is a celebration of summer: fresh corn, ripe tomatoes and shelled butter beans (also known as lima beans.) Succotash has earned its place of pride in regions across the U.S. - the Midwest, the Eastern Seaboard, and perhaps most notably, the South. This succotash is Cajun-style and a worthy entree, thanks to spicy Andouille sausage and seasoned shrimp. But feel free to leave them out for a satisfying meatless option. The Andouille sausage adds kick, so if you use regular sausage or eliminate it altogether, you can add some heat with ground cayenne and hot sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
- While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
- As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
- Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.
