Ingredients

10 ounces fresh or frozen baby lima beans (2 cups)
4 center-cut bacon slices
1 cup chopped sweet onion (from 1 small onion)
4 ounces fresh okra, cut into ½-inch-thick slices (1 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (1 tsp.)
3 cups fresh corn kernels (4 ears)
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
5 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved (1 cup)
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and sliced basil; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.

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 - DEE DEE'S

Succotash - Dee Dee's image

I've always loved Succotash and this recipe has to be the very best! I found this recipe in Southern Livings Ultimate Christmas Cookbook (Special edition presented exelusively by Dillards)page 99. It suggests paring this dish with ham. I love it with rice and fried salmon patties to name a few. This dish is a wonderful side dish...
