JESSICA B. HARRIS'S SUMMER SUCCOTASH



Jessica B. Harris's Summer Succotash image

The food historian and writer Jessica B. Harris wrote a whole cookbook, "The Martha's Vineyard Table" (Chronicle Books, 2013), paying tribute to the Massachusetts resort island where lobsters, oysters and farm-fresh vegetables are abundant. This dish is ideal for summer, when the tomatoes are overflowing. Dr. Harris loves to use okra in the place of beans, which are often an ingredient in succotash dishes. If you can't find a habanero chile but still want to add heat, a small jalapeño will work.
