Stir in the basil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper and serve.

SUCCOTASH SALAD

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.

SADIE'S SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Cook lima beans in vegetable broth with sugar and pinch of salt for about 7 minutes. Strain beans and set aside, reserve the liquid. In iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook garlic, corn, and peppers about 1 minute. Add lima beans, tomatoes and a 1/4 cup or so of broth to keep pan from becoming dry. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth as it evaporates to keep mixture moist. Finally, allow the broth to reduce in final minutes of cooking so mixture is moist but not soupy. After cooking, add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: after cooking add thinly sliced fresh basil. Can make ahead and reheat.
