This succotash recipe is a colorful, veggie-packed side dish made with corn, beans, and squash. Perfect for summer, but easy to enjoy year-round with fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables.

Succotash-1-11

If you’re like me, you love having a tasty veggie side with every meal, but sometimes it’s easy to fall into the habit of serving the same salad or side dish over and over again. That’s where this succotash comes in—a fresh, vibrant alternative that’s super easy to customize based on what you have on hand.

Originally created by Native Americans and later adopted by early pioneers, succotash is traditionally made with corn, beans, and squash—known as the “three sisters” of Native American agriculture. While those three ingredients are the foundation, you can easily add other vegetables or seasonings to suit your taste or whatever you’ve got in your kitchen.

What I love about succotash is that it’s a great way to use up leftover summer veggies, but it’s also a dish you can enjoy year-round. Whether you’re using fresh produce or opting for frozen or canned veggies when fresh ones are out of season, this dish will always deliver a comforting and colorful side that pairs perfectly with almost any meal.

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 cup green beans, cup into 1 ½ inch pieces

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 small bell pepper, chopped

¼-1/2 cup water or broth

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped (or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes)

1 small zucchini, chopped

1 cup lima beans, fresh or frozen

2 cups corn, fresh or frozen

salt and ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make Succotash

Succotash-1-2Add the green beans, garlic and the bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Succotash-1-3Deglaze the skillet with water or broth, cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 more minutes, until the green beans have softened but are still vibrant green.

Succotash-1-4Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.

Succotash-1-5Add the zucchini, lima beans and corn. Succotash-1-6

Succotash-1-7Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until all the vegetables are cooked to your liking.Succotash-1-11

    Hi Olga!

    This is good. I made it a couple days ago to go with meatloaf and biscuits. (Sometimes I think meatloaf gets a bad reputation, but trust me, my mom's is really good. ;)) Your succotash recipe made a very pretty, tasty side dish, paired well with the other food, and is so incredibly healthy! My whole family liked it, and I had fun making it, too. I love chopping up vegetables... and it smells so good while it's cooking... This reminds me of ratatouille, but with a different veggie mix. I'm still enjoying the leftover succotash. I am happy this is something I can make any time of the year. Thanks for the great recipe!

    С Новым годом! 🙂

      I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Corinne. This is one of my favorite side dishes, which I make in many different variations. I also love that you can get a taste of fresh veggies in the middle of winter.
