OK..for anyone who hasnt tried succotash ...you are missing a great dish!
I found the recipe in my organic living magazine and it is colorful and full of good stuff & makes a great side dish.
1 15 oz bag of lima beans
1 cup of seeded/diced tomatoes ( i used canned)
2 cups of corn (fresh if you can)
1/4 cup chopped scallions
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
ok...here it is... Boil 3/4 cup of water w/ 1tsp of salt in the water... throw in the lima beans from the bag into the boiling water... turn the heat down and cook until slightly tender. drain
In a skillet take 3 tbsp of butter or you can use olive oil, heat at a medium heat until the butter is kind of foamy... add scallions, turn heat down a bit & add corn, cook for 5 min, add lima beans cooking for another 3 min, toss in tomatoes and at the very end toss thru the parsley. I didnt time anything..i winged it..and it came out great. Even my son liked it...What kid likes lima beans?
I also added a tsp of spicy Mrs Dash for a little added flavor... enjoy!
