Microwave Spicy Succotash Recipes

Steps:

• Place the lima beans in a covered glass dish with the 1/3 cup water and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the corn, re-cover, and microwave for 5 more minutes.
• Drain off water and stir in butter. Season, to taste, with Creole seasoning.

Steps:

• In a medium casserole dish combine all ingredients except cilantro.
• Cover and microwave on high 8-10 minutes.
• Top with cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lima beans and cook, uncovered, until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and cool slightly.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet set over medium-heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, uncovered, until lightly browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook until the jalapeno is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lima beans and bell pepper. Cool the mixture slightly.
• Place the vegetable mixture in a food processor along with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil, 2 tablespoons water, the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season with additional vinegar if desired.
• Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl. Gently stir together the tomato, corn, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Right before serving, stir the parsley into the tomato-and-corn mixture and use a slotted spoon to scoop it on top of the dip. Serve with dippers such as blue corn tortilla chips and vegetables.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine corn, okra and 1 tablespoon water. Cover with damp paper towels and microwave on high setting for 7 to 8 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together milk and white sauce mix. Bring to boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to simmer and continue stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add cooked corn and okra, butter beans and chopped pimento to white sauce. Return to medium heat and heat through. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Make the chile vinegar: Combine the vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon water in a very small microwave-safe bowl. Add the jalapeño and microwave until bubbling, about 30 seconds. Let stand while you prepare the succotash.
• Put the lima beans in a medium saucepan and cover with water by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil, then boil for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook until tender, about 12 minutes, then drain.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the corn, garlic and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lima beans, tomato and basil. Add as much of the chile vinegar as you like, then serve.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot butter and oil until onion is softened and slightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add red bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic; cook and stir until peppers are fragrant and softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir tomatoes, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini, green beans, water, and a pinch of salt; cook until zucchini are almost tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir corn and lima beans into zucchini mixture until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
• While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
• As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
• Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.
