SUPER EASY SOUTHERN OKRA SUCCOTASH



Super Easy Southern Okra Succotash image

This is one time that frozen vegetables work better than fresh. You can play with different spices if you like, it's very forgiving. A finely diced Jalapeno is good for a little bite. Butter works well to replace the bacon drippings, or you can live longer (if not better) and skip the fat all together! Add Sausage and serve over rice for a great main dish! Update! I've made this often substituting fresh okra, but I just made it for the first time with fresh corn right off the cob. I added the corn raw a little before the okra and just heated it through. It was fantastic! Crisp and sweet!

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.

SUPER BOWL INDIANA SUCCOTASH



Super Bowl Indiana Succotash image

Great for the Superbowl. A Recipe from "The Little Mountain Bean Bible Cookbook" tweeked a bit.

Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Corn

Time 45m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces green beans
5 green onions with tops (chopped)
1/2 red pepper (diced the size of the corn)
15 ounces whole kernel corn (frozen or can drained)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut beans in rounds the size of corn; cook with 1/4 teaspoon salt about 15 minutes or until tender, drain.
  • Saute green onions and red pepper in butter until transparent (do not brown).
  • Add corn, 1/4 teaspoon salt, paprika, celery salt and sugar, then beans.
  • Simmer succotash, covered, for about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh corn or lima beans, you can use frozen or canned, but fresh is always preferred.
  • Season to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper, or try adding a pinch of sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Succotash is best when the vegetables are still slightly crisp. Cook them just until they are tender, but not mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Succotash is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the vegetables and then reheat them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Succotash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even a snack. It's a great way to use up fresh summer vegetables, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give succotash a try.
