HOW TO MAKE A VIBRANT PAN OF SUCCOTASH WITH FRESH OR FROZEN VEGGIES

Steps:

• Thaw the frozen vegetables. Place 1 cup frozen lima beans in a shallow bowl at room temperature to thaw. If using frozen corn or okra, add 4 ounces frozen okra and 2 cups frozen corn kernels to the bowl to thaw also.
• Prepare the vegetables. Dice 1 medium bell pepper and 1/2 medium sweet onion (about 1 cup onion), and finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Halve 1 pint grape tomatoes. Trim and slice 4 ounces okra 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup). Thinly slice 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves. If using fresh corn, remove the husks and cut the kernels from the cob (about 2 cups).
• Chop the bacon. Chop 4 slices bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon until crisp. Cook the bacon in a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the bacon crisps and the fat renders, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Cook the onion and pepper until soft. Add the onion, bell pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt to the bacon fat in the skillet and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Cook the garlic until fragrant. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the remaining vegetables. Stir in the tomatoes, corn, okra, and lima beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through and tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Season the succotash. Stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Serve the succotash. Top with the crisped bacon and basil leaves, and serve warm.
