Northern Succotash Recipes

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:

• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lima beans and salt, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan heat tomatoes, sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter. Cook until tomatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Stir tomatoes into lima beans and add corn; cook 10 minutes more.

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:

• In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion; cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add bell peppers, zucchini, lima beans, and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in herbs, and serve.

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium heat, then add the bacon and cook until the fat has rendered and the bacon has crisped, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic and onions and cook until the onions have softened a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook another 2 minutes. Add the lima beans and then remove from the heat. Stir in the basil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper and serve.

• Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Add corn, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes.
• Add cream and cook, stirring, until cream is simmering and vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.

• Stir in corn, milk, butter and vinegar. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 10 min. Stir in bacon. Season with the salt and pepper.

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.

Steps:

• Cook the beans in a sauce pan of boiling salted water for 6 to 8 minutes, until they are almost tender.
• Add the corn, return to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, over medium heat until both vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes; drain well.
• Return the vegetables to the saucepan and add the sugar, cream, salt and pepper.
• Cook over low heat until thoroughly heated through, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, simmer ham hock in water until tender, 1-1/2 hours. Cool; remove meat from the bone and return to pan. (Discard bone and broth or save for another use.) Add the tomatoes, beans, peas, corn, green pepper, onion, ketchup and seasonings. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Add okra; simmer, uncovered, until tender, 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf before serving. Garnish with dill and chives, if desired.

Steps:

• Have ready 5 very clean pint jars with new lids and screw-top bands that have been simmered in hot water; keep submerged in hot water until ready for use.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add corn. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut off kernels (do not cut so close to cobs that the milk comes out; you should have 5 cups). Reserve cobs to make corn soup. Combine corn kernels and beans.
• Place 1/2 teaspoon salt in each hot empty jar. Fill each jar with 1 1/2 cups hot succotash, leaving 1-inch space at top.
• Place rack in a pressure canner, and fill canner with 3 quarts boiling water. Place jars on rack. Align cover handles so they are locked into position according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove pressure regulator from steam vent. Heat canner over high heat. Let steam release from vent 10 minutes, then return pressure regulator to steam vent.
• Process corn at 11 pounds pressure 1 hour, adjusting for altitude and type of pressure canner according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Turn off heat, and let pressure drop naturally, about 40 minutes. When canner is depressurized (according to manufacturer's instructions), remove gauge, then canner's lid.
• Remove jars using tongs, and let cool; you may hear the lids ping, a sign that vacuum sealing has occurred. After 6 hours, check each lid to make sure it is concave (another sign that it's vacuum sealed), then remove screw-top band, and try to remove lid with your fingertips. If you can't, seal is tight. Label and date jars, then store in a cool, dark, dry place up to 1 year (after opening, succotash can be refrigerated up to 1 week). Before using, check to see if lid is still concave; if it isn't, discard.
