Giant Bean Succotash Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the beans, onion, water, garlic, bouquet garni and salt in a heavy saucepan or soup pot, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Taste and adjust salt. Remove and discard the onion, the bouquet garni and the garlic cloves. Drain though a strainer or colander set over a bowl.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the red onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, for about three minutes. Add the squash, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the squash begins to soften and look translucent, three to four minutes. Add the garlic and corn. Cook for about four minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper. Add the beans and sage, and continue to cook, stirring, for another minute or two. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you want this to be more moist, stir in some of the bean broth.

Steps:

• Use a knife to cut down the length of the sweetcorn to remove the kernels. Heat the oil in a large lidded pan. Cook the kernels and garlic over a medium heat for 5 mins, stirring all the time.
• Add the frozen beans to the pan, cover and cook, stirring every so often, for another 4-5 mins or until the beans are cooked through. Turn off the heat and add the chilli, herbs and vinegar. Taste and add seasoning, if you like.
