I'd never had succotash before, nor did I really know what it was (from Wikipedia: "Succotash (from Narragansett msíckquatash, "boiled corn kernels") is a food dish consisting primarily of corn and lima beans or other shell beans). But this stuff was amazing. I can't tell you what it was about it that I loved so much, but I couldn't get enough. Thankfully there were leftovers, because the next two days I mixed in some grilled chicken strips and sauteed mushrooms for my lunch. Such a great little bowl of happiness.

Edamame and Sweet Corn Succotash
from Parents Magazine, August 2011
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
- 1 cup corn kernels (2 ears of corn)
- 1 cup shelled frozen edamame
- 1/2 cup chopped red sweet pepper
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh marjoram or oregano (my mom used oregano)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add white part of green onion and cook until fragrant and starting to brown slightly, about one minute. Stir in corn, edamame, sweet pepper, marjoram, salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir together broth and cornstarch; add it to corn mixture along with remaining green onions. Cook and stir until thickened, bubbly, and liquid almost evaporates, about one minute. Remove from heat and mix in the butter until melted.
Enjoy!
